Pakistan: election fever
|
Pakistan goes to the polls on Monday, elections that were postponed after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto last December.
If opinion polls are anything to go by, then it seems that Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party will win the parliamentary elections.
In a survey published in Pakistan's leading English language newspaper Dawn, 70% of Pakistanis want President Pervez Musharraf to quit.
