The religious parties were cut to size, obtaining only 3 seats initially. 2. The moderate political parties won most of the seats, PPP(left of centre)turned out to be the majority party, followed by the PML-N(right of centre) and ANP. 3. Musharraf's kings party the Q League roundly beaten. 4. Musharraf's pro US policies rejected and disapproved by the majority of voters. Jameel The elections did produce some positive results:

I think some of these points of view are too negative though. Having elections is always a step in the right direction. Even if they are semi-influenced it still puts society one step closer to real progress. Check out more on the election on this search / the tabs on the left explore it. Again, great post.
