 LONDON: President Pervez Musharraf said on Saturday that the prime minister, being the chief executive of the country, would be empowered to run the affairs of the government arising out of the February 18 elections.
Addressing a large gathering of Pakistanis at a local hotel here, he dismissed the impression that there will be any clash between the president and the prime minister. He said the law was very clear to this effect, and both organs of the State could perform their responsibilities independently, keeping the national interest supreme.

In case a single party would not be able to form the government, a coalition government could come into power, the president said, adding that he will be prepared to facilitate the process.
