In last November, and in the middle of a constitutional crisis and state of emergency declared by Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, elections were 'on the back burner' with no date set. Five days later, on 8 November, Musharraf announced the election would be held by 15 February. Then, the Pakistani president changed his mind again, and suggested 8 January. After the killing of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, at a rally on 27 December, the Election Commission announced that the election would be postponed till 18 February.
