According to the ECP, the election in PK-78 (Peshawar-13) will be held after July 25.
At least 19 people including a leader of Awami National Party (ANP), Haroon Bilour, were martyred and 66 other injured in a suicide attack that had rocked ANP election rally in Yakatoot area of Peshawar last night.
According to police, a suicide attacker entered a corner meeting of ANP and blew himself up.
