I think you read more into that report than is there. Bhutto's party (and other opposition) are clamoring that there cannot be free and fair elections while martial law is in place. He keeps martial law, gives them a little window dressing, but still ends up "winning" the vote. Now he can claim a mandate - "see, even with real opposition (hey they even got to speak out and everything) I still won."
Perhaps I'm too cynical.
