Suicide attack on election day in Pakistan: 31 dead

A suicide bomber in Pakistan fell into the crowd with his motorcycle. 31 people died during the attack of the historic day of elections held in the city of Kuetta. The attack also overshadowed the elections. Although responsibility for the attack has not yet been engaged, local administrators have blamed ISID for the attack.

Once again, the challenges of the sustainability of democracy in the country where the majority of the attacking population is Muslim are also raging.

While 35 people were injured in suicide attacks, the wounded, who would be heavy in some cases, were treated in hospitals. On the other hand, the chairman of Pakistan's Supreme Electoral Council, Nadim November, said that Prime Minister Imran Khan's overt use of the game in front of the cameras violates the confidentiality of the ballots and that the game that he gave may be invalid.

The elections today (Wednesday) will determine the members of the National Assembly, the lower wing of parliament and 4 regional assemblies. There was a campaign process full of manipulation allegations in the country. For this reason, experts and right-wing groups warn that there will be intense objections from parties without instability and choice for the post-election period.

Although the outcome of the election is not yet clear, one does not expect the election to win the majority of a single party. In this case, after the elections, comments are made that the government will cause the extension of the period of establishment.

During the election campaign, there were also bloody attacks in the Baluchistan region. A suicide bomber blew himself up at a rally, injuring 400 people in the deaths of 149 people, while ISIID began the attack. Telephone and Internet services were cut during the elections for security reasons in some areas of Baluchistan.

On the other hand, one person was killed and two others were injured in the clash between the two opposing groups.
