There have been conflicting reports on the upcoming elections. Yesterday it seemed pretty clear that elections were postponed indefinitely. Then Shaukat Aziz said that they could be postponed for up to a year.
The latest statement from both Shaukat Aziz and Attorney General Malik Abdul Qayyum says that elections will be held as scheduled on January 15. The current assemblies will be dissolved on November 15 (as previously scheduled and required under the constitution which no longer governs us). Perhaps having secured a compliant judiciary, Musharraf feels he has finally secured his next presidential term, and Benazir must have agreed to it as well.
