Pakistan's general election voting continues as security authorities increase vigilance against terrorism. Former Prime Minister Sharif, who has served as prime minister three times so far, will re-emerge.

On the 7th, explosions occurred near two election offices in the southwestern province of Balochistan, killing a total of 30 people. Pakistan has been in economic turmoil, including soaring prices, since large-scale floods occurred in October, and after voting, a woman said, ``The new government should first tackle economic and security measures.''
