"If that (impeachment) happens, let me assure that I'd be leaving office before they would do anything. If they won with this kind of majority and they formed a government that had the intention of doing this, I wouldn't like to stick around," Musharraf said in an interview to Singapore's Straits Times.

Two-thirds majority in parliament is required for any impeachment proceeding. And the possibility of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto's PPP and Nawaz Sharif's PML-N getting it after next month's elections is not ruled out.

The President said Bhutto, with whom he was reported to be having power-sharing talks, was "brave" but got "carried away" in the euphoria of the public support in her last rally, where she was killed.
