It’s the first time in 65 years for the country that a civilian government has completed a full term in office, to hand over power in democratic elections. The newly elected government will lead the country for the next five years. Voters will elect 272 members of the National Assembly. Another 70 seats, mostly reserved for women and members of non-Muslim minorities, are allocated to parties on the basis of their performance in the contested constituencies. To have a majority, a party would need 172. The people of Pakistan hope the polls will deliver change and ease frustrations with a feeble economy, widespread corruption, chronic power cuts and crumbling infrastructure. The polling will last until 5 pm local time. Dozens of people have been killed in the run-up to the vote by the al-Qaeda-linked Pakistan Taliban, which regards the poll as un-Islamic and has vowed to disrupt the process with suicide bombings. 本栏目更多同类内容 扫码关注和谐英语微信公众号,第一时间获取最新学习资料 或公众号搜索myhxen 上一篇 台湾渔民在有争议水域被菲律宾射杀 下一篇 汶川大地震5年之后 相关文章 法国总统选举如何进行世预赛:中国将占乌兹别克斯坦目击者回忆伊斯坦布尔致命袭击欧足联9月选举新掌门人巴基斯坦电影业蓬勃发展华为助力哈萨克斯坦进入4G时代巴基斯坦的救援行动仍在继续中国向巴基斯坦提供现金援助巴基斯坦的中国食品与巴基斯坦贸易上升带动青岛港
