Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf, under pressure to step down before he is impeached, will address the nation at 1 p.m. (0700 GMT) on Monday, an official in the president’s office told Reuters.

Speculation the former army chief and firm U.S. ally will resign has been mounting since the coalition government, led by the party of assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, said this month it planned to impeach him.

The official in the president’s office gave no details of the president’s address, but the president’s chief spokesman, retired Major General Rashid Qureshi, was quoted separately as again denying Musharraf would resign or leave the country.

“President Musharraf is not going to Saudi Arabia or any other country and he will fight impeachment constitutionally,” Dawn Television cited Qureshi as saying.

The ruling coalition has prepared impeachment charges against Musharraf focusing on violation of the constitution and misconduct.
