Bhutto plans Pakistan return to run for office-aide

LONDON, Sep 10 (Reuters) An aide to Pakistan's former prime minister Benazir Bhutto said today she would likely return from exile in October in the hope of contesting national elections.

''Mrs Bhutto has decided to travel to Pakistan,'' Bhutto's spokesman Wajid Hassan told Reuters Television in an interview.

''She has planned it next month, probably. She will announce it on 14th of September 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,'' he said.

''I'm sure that there will be no compromise on it. She will go back and she will compete for the party and she will definitely win the elections.'' Reuters GL DB1852
