In the two houses of parliament, Musharraf won 252 of 257 votes cast. His closest rival, Wajihuddin Ahmed, won two votes, while three votes were rejected, Chief Election Commissioner Qazi Muhammad Farooq told the National Assembly.

"This result shows the people want continuity of policy," Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz told reporters in parliament.

"It's a very good omen that the election was fair and transparent."

Musharraf has to wait for the Surpreme Court to confirm the legality of his bid before he can be declared winner.

The members of National Assembly belong to PPP walked out of the National Assembly Hall when a session was summoned, the report said, adding that the session had been adjourned.

The PPP, led by former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, announced on Friday that their parliamentarians would not resign from the National and Provincial Assemblies.
