ISLAMABAD, Sept 22: President Gen Pervez Musharraf said on Sunday he was willing to sign a certificate, if there was any, to confirm that the Oct 10 elections would be held as planned.

“I have said this 200 times that the elections would be held on schedule. I am now ready to sign a certificate, if there is one,” he said after distributing prizes on the conclusion of the COAS Championship at the Rawalpindi Golf Club.

“The election commission is following the time-table that has been set for them and there would be no rigging, the polls would be fair and transparent.”

“Claims of pre-poll rigging by some parties are all baseless.”

There is a lot of interest in Pakistan elections abroad and the European Union mission can send in as many monitoring teams as they like. “The elections would be completely fair.”
