Sherpao hopeful

Published September 4, 2007

ISLAMABAD: A power-sharing deal between President General Pervez Musharraf and Benazir Bhutto will materialise before Sept 14, and she may return before the presidential election, says Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao.

Talking to reporters here on Monday, he said: “We do want Benazir (to be) associated with the president because we want consensus as far as his presidency is concerned,” adding that the association should be confined to the presidential election.

He assured that the elections would be free, fair and transparent elections, with a level playing field for everyone.—APP
