ISLAMABAD -- Calls from multiple players to delay Pakistan's upcoming general election threaten what is left of the country's fragile democracy, experts say, though many expect the polls will go ahead in the end.
The clearest push for a postponement so far came last Friday, when the Senate passed a resolution urging the government to put off the Feb. 8 vote due to security concerns. Molana Fazal ur Rehman, Pakistan's leading Islamist politician, also endorsed the resolution.
