Elections will now be held on February 18 (40 days from the original date - a coincidence?). The major parties have all said that they will participate, although they have also criticized the decision to postpone elections. The PPP loses most from the delay, since they would have gotten a massive sympathy vote and big turnout due to BB's death.
What frustrates me is the refusal of the major parties to ask for a real election - one that is held without Musharraf as president, and which is held under a restored judiciary. Otherwise this election will be as big a farce as the original one was meant to be.
