The election commission of Pakistan (ECP) has decided to postpone the January 8 polls in view of the situation in the country after the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and will announce new dates for national and provincial assembly elections on Monday, a senior official of the commission said.

"Today in an informal meeting the senior officials of the ECP discussed the situation and unrest in the country and concluded that elections will have to be postponed," said the official requesting anonymity. He said that the formal decision in this regard will be announced on Monday after a meeting with government and security officials.

Musharraf: No.

Hardly surprising,given the escalation of violence
and the PPP still undecided who their candidate should
be.Certainly not a 19 year old boy who is suddenly
in the center of a plea to appease his mother's
followers from violent chaos.However the latest news
seems to be that bloodshed has increased in the last
24 hours.
Will there ever be democracy or peace for Pakistan?
