The general climate in the province is dire, according to reports from KP security authorities and recent statistics on incidents linked to terrorism. There is no doubt that the organisations in charge of maintaining internal security have a difficult job ahead of them: maintaining peace in the face of adversity. Arguments that the unfavourable security situation warrants a further postponement of the elections have been made time and again. Nonetheless, if given the necessary funding and backing from the government, Pakistan’s security and law enforcement agencies will surely succeed in handling any difficulties because they are sufficiently prepared to handle them. They are extremely capable of turning the tables on any hostile elements, provided they can maintain their focus on internal security.
