Do you expect them to accept a continuation of what a

Like the people of all countries they are bound to make their decisions according to their individual and national interests not according to what "the rest of the world" wants.
Did Musharraf achieve anything like democracy? - NO.
Anything like stability? - NO.
Safety for is people and for the candidates of other parties? - NO.
Is it a surprise that he was defeated? - YES - but mainly that he didn't succeed in rigging the elections one more time.
Will he accept the result and leave quietly - and/or will the Western "democracies" allow him to do so? 2 BIG ??
