HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe could sign a power-sharing deal with the opposition on Sunday after more than two weeks of talks seeking to end a post-election crisis, a senior ruling party official said on Saturday.

The official said Mugabe's ZANU-PF wants any unity government to last five years and has agreed to have opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai as prime minister, although his powers are still under discussion.

"We anticipate there could be a signing tomorrow, after the leaders have met to thrash out the remaining issues," the official told Reuters.
