Mian Muhibullah Kakakhel - Presidential Candidate

Presidential Candidate

Feeling that all the agencies and political parties were helping Musharraf’s dictatorial rule and Musharraf was going to be elected unopposed in the forthcoming elections to the office of President of Pakistan, Kakakhel announced his candidature for the post of the President. The candidature was welcomed by almost all the pressure groups including army generals and politicians but then all of a sudden the lawyers' movement started against the removal of theChief Justice of Pakistan, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. The lawyers' movement overshadowed the presidential elections and also the candidature of Kakakhel; hence he withdraw his claim to the presidency of the country in the best interests of the country.

Kakakhel also started the Pakistan Jurists' Association in 1990.

In view of the deteriorating peace and security situation in the world and the sufferings and destruction of mankind at its own hands, Kakakhel initiated a new platform to provide the world community with a forum other than U.N.O. to give vent to their feelings and for advancing the cause of humanity to bring peace and security in the world. The forum is called LIPS (Lawyers for International Peace and Security). Lawyers and jurists all along the world will be mobilized towards the path of security for mankind.

The article of Kakakhel, "Prisoner of War's" was published in the Foreign Broadcast Information Service 50th Anniversary and in the Daily Muslim of Pakistan on 17 February, 1991.
