Musharraf pledges 2008 polls - on his terms

Islamabad - Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said on Sunday that a general election would be held by January 9 next year, but under a state of emergency he imposed eight days ago. Musharraf, under pressure from rivals and Western allies to put nuclear-armed Pakistan back on a path to democracy, said the National Assembly and provincial assemblies would be dissolved in coming days, upon completion of their terms.

The army chief also told a news conference he would quit the military and be sworn in as a civilian president as soon as the Supreme Court struck down challenges to his October 6 re-election. He said he hoped that would happen as soon as possible.
