LONDON : Former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto said Saturday that she had not yet reached a power-sharing deal with President Pervez Musharraf, but was planning to return to the country soon.

"No understanding has been arrived at and we are making our plans to return," she told a press conference in London, adding that her political party in Pakistan would announce the precise date of her return on September 14.

Fellow exiled former prime minister Nawaz Sharif announced Thursday that he would return to Islamabad on September 10 to lead a campaign to oust Musharraf from power.

Addressing dozens of reporters in a packed house in central London, the exiled former leader said that negotiations with Musharraf were "80 percent successful".

Asked what remained to be discussed, she said: "What was left was one and a half points pertaining to the sovereignty of parliament and the presidential and parliamentary elections."

"I'm unaware of how the talks will go...it's very unclear because they went back to Pakistan. I have only seen the newspaper reports on it," she added later.

Musharraf seized power in a bloodless military coup in 1999, ousting Sharif and sending him into exile. - AFP/ch
