Some of Peshawar's candidates up, close, and personal

Since April, the Pakistani Taliban have killed more than 70 people in attacks targeting three major political parties - the Awami National Party (ANP), the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM), preventing many of their most prominent candidates from openly campaigning. The Taliban say they are targeting “secular” parties and that elections only “serve the interests of infidels and enemies of Islam”. - Photos and text by Reuters
