Musharraf claims that he will step down as Army Chief if he wins re-election. The presidential election will take place this Saturday. The latest protests are the largest since July, when Musharraf suspended Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudry \u2013 who was reinstated after it was ruled that the suspension was illegal.
