: : hi,
: : can I omit the "on" part in this sentence and just keep the word "holding", will the sentence retains the same meaning?

: : here is the sentence...president pervez musharraf is "holding on" to the power he snatched in a 1999 coup because pakistan is still not ready for democracy, he said yesterday.

: : thank you for your help.

: Leave it as is. "Holding on" is clear.

LOL, OK I will leave it, but I just need to know if it makes any difference.
