The former Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, has confirmed that he will not stand as a candidate in the country's elections in January.
Mr Sharif's nomination papers were earlier rejected, and he now says he will not appeal against that decision.
Mr Sharif made a dramatic return to Pakistan last month after years in exile, and quickly re-established himself on the political scene.
He is now one of President Musharraf's most outspoken critics.
