Musharraf ideal choice of leadership: US survey

09 Oct, 2007

President General Pervez Musharraf is an obvious and ideal choice for leadership of Pakistan in comparison to Benazir Bhutto and Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, says International Public Opinion Polls (IPOP) survey report.
The International Public Opinion Polls (IPOP) survey report, focusing primarily on exploring leadership issues for rescuing Pakistan, suggested that Pakistani nation suffered from assertively dangerous and grave political crises that also endangered the national interest which had a significant bearing and immense pertinence.
Reports say the National Reconciliation issues and the almost crippling yet imaginative political and constitutional marshlands.
IPOP, a research organisation based in the US, recently published an opinion-based report on a survey conducted from 1,572 people in Pakistan. The target population was educated and relatively less-educated populace of Pakistan.
The purpose of the survey was to explore suitable and substantive political leadership qualities and attributes from within Pakistan's youth, for a nation beleaguered by terrorist attacks, suicide bombings and religious fanaticism.
The opinion-based survey was conducted in 62 cities of Pakistan, 17 being major and 45 being comparatively lesser developed cities of Pakistan.
A target population of 1,572 educated people was siphoned through the adult franchise basis, of which 10,230 were men and 549 were women. The survey was conducted from August 15 till September 20. The sample questionnaire had nine questions, which were designed to gauge the view of the interviewed hailing from 62 large and small cities of Pakistan.
This opinion-based survey was levelled on the adult franchise basis with men and women 20 years of age and older. The surveying team reported that since the survey was meant for the educated lot, those who could write their names and read a newspaper were also included in it and extreme care was adopted in collating the results.
