LONDON, Sept 25: Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto is likely to arrive here by the weekend to chair PPP’s Central Working Committee meeting scheduled to be held on Oct 3.

The meeting is expected to review political developments taking place in Pakistan, including amendments made in the election rules by the Election Commission and the expected ruling of Supreme Court in petitions challenging President Gen Pervez Musharraf’s qualifications to contest the presidential elections.

The meeting will likely to take a final decision on the issue of resignations from the parliament in case President Musharraf would be allowed to contest the elections in uniform.
