Musharraf says ready for early polls
DUBAI: Exiled former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf said his newly formed party was prepared for possible early elections as the government in Islamabad scrambles to save its ruling coalition. Musharraf, who launched the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) in October, said he would return to Pakistan “before the next election”. “We are ready to contest elections,” he told reporters at his apartment in Dubai. “A little more time would be useful as we are a new party. However, we will definitely try if the elections come early.” The former military chief said, “I must return (to Pakistan) well before the next elections, whenever that may be.” reuters
