Will contest next general elections: Musharraf

Lahore, May 8: Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has said that he will contest the country's next general elections even if mid-term polls are announced.

Addressing members of his newly launched party, the All-Pakistan Muslim League (APML) through a video, which was screened at one of his close associates' Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif's residence here, Musharraf said he still enjoys great public support in Pakistan.

The former general said he has over 200,000 friends on Facebook, who have asked him to return back to Pakistan.

Seeking people support, Musharraf said Pakistan has the ability to progress as a developed state, and if given an opportunity he could transform the fate of the country.

"If you'll support me, InshaAllah, I won't let you down," The Daily Times quoted Musharraf, as saying.
