After a discomforting refusal of his appeal for the dissolution of ECP, there could be a few options left for Dr Qadri. He is not going to appeal for sure. The other options could be that he either tries for a long march without the approval of the ruling party or goes for elections.
As far as elections are concerned, he is not likely to get more than a few seats, or may be just his own which he had in 2002. But, he will have to forego his Canadian nationality. Would he? The most likely option is that he returns to Canada and waits for another “safari”, if so acceptable by those who matter.
It all depends on the future strategy of some outside powers, who have miserably failed to get the elections postponed for now. After all, as the history goes, we accepted an ineligible person like Mr Moin Qureshi as our caretaker PM. In a cash-strapped country like ours, money makes the mare go.
