Last month Mr Zardari joined forces with Nawaz Sharif, a former prime minister, to hound Pervez Musharraf from the presidency. But Mr Zardari soon reneged on pledges to restore the deposed chief justice, and to amend the constitution to divest the presidency of the extraordinary powers accrued to it by Mr Musharraf.

He will chair the powerful National Security Council. With a puppet prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, from his Pakistan People's Party, Mr Zardari is poised to lord it over Pakistan.
