While KO's article (linked in previous post) says it all, there has to be something wrong that one starts shivering inside and imagines what could happen if MQM wins this time around? The billboards dotted around Karachi scare me to no extent. Although I've been informed last night from an anonymous source that PPP is going to win. Not that they're going to do anything for Karachi either, but at this point, anyone, even the horrid MMA would be better than the MQM.

Should be an interesting election.

Hmm PPP win Karachi!? They haven't won since the late 70's local elections, I find that doubtful. Realistically the MQM will win, the people at the top would never allow the PPP in charge of a major city like Karachi or Lahore without BB making a deal.

The MMA's components have never historically done well in local elections, but things are changing, the anti American vote is in the MMA's bag.

Wheee! Like I said...the MQM sweeped Karachi..whats going on in Interior Sindh and Southern Punjab is expected..the government has ensured all the top candidates are on its side and int hose areas people vote more on biradri and tribal links
