As of now, Pakistani elections are still on.

With the PPP rudderless and Nawaz Sharif boycotting the elections...

Prime Minister Mohammedmian Soomro said Friday the government had no immediate plan to postpone Jan. 8 parliamentary elections, despite the growing chaos and a top opposition leader's decision to boycott the poll.

"Right now the elections stand where they were," he told a news conference. "We will consult all the political parties to take any decision about it."

Of course, if they cancelled them, all hell would break loose, too.

(AFP) "Authorities struggled to contain the seething anger, ordering paramilitary forces in Karachi, a Bhutto stronghold, to shoot rioters on sight and sending troops into several cities across the south."
