Pakistan Election: Blast Targets Candidate’s Office, 12 Killed

At least 12 people have been killed in an attack on a candidate’s political office in Balochistan province.

Pakistan gears up to hold closely watched elections for national and provincial assemblies on Thursday.

A major crackdown on the biggest opposition party and its leader, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has fuelled concerns over possible manipulation.

Voters will cast their ballots for two legislators to represent their constituency  one federally and the other provincially.

There are 5,121 candidates contesting for the federal legislature and 12,695 for the provinces.
