Crisis of confidence
The question whether national election will be held within December 2008 has raised doubts in the public mind. It is true that the Chief Adviser, the Chief Election Commissioner and the Army Chief strongly reconfirmed time and again the government's plan to hold the election on or before December 2008. Nevertheless, it's not easy to assume that things are moving according to the so called 'Roadmap' designed by the EC. Some of our national political leaders demanded announcement of a date of election to create an environment of trust. Will a declaration of election date put an end to the prevailing confusion and distrust ?
No one can deny that the majority of our population don't believe that the election will be held as promised by the government.
