Pakistan is holding a parliamentary election today amidst ongoing violence and allegations of fraud. The vote was initially scheduled for last month but delayed after the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party is expected to win a majority of parliamentary seats. But opposition members are voicing fears of electoral fraud by supporters of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. Violence has continued in the run-up to the elections — forty-six people were killed and at least one injured Saturday in a bombing of an election rally in the North West Frontier Province.
