LONDON, Sept 10: Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto aims to return from exile in October to contest national elections, a spokesman said on Monday.“Ms Bhutto has decided to travel to Pakistan,” spokesman Wajid Hassan told Reuters Television in an interview.
“She has planned it next month, probably. She will announce it on Sept 14 as to the date of her arrival in Pakistan.”
“She has got to go back and lead the party into the elections, to campaign for the party in the elections,” her spokesman said.
“So far they have not signed any deal. They have been engaged in talks for peaceful transition to democracy through free and fair, transparent elections,” Mr Hassan said.
He said an agreement was close but had not yet been struck as there were some issues to be resolved.—Reuters
