Five Senators separate the government from the opposition. With 52 votes in hand, the opposition candidate Yousuf Raza Gilani is confident of his victory. As a student of history, he should not be. With 47 votes in hand, the government’s candidate Sadiq Sanjrani is equally confident of his victory. He comes armed with official largesse and powerful backers.
