US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby has said that the US is concerned about reports of threats and voter suppression in Pakistan's elections. "We're concerned, we express our concerns about the reports that we've heard from Pakistan about intimidation, voter suppression and things like that," John Kirby said at a press briefing at the White House. .
John Kirby was responding to a question raised by several
members of the US Congress regarding concerns over the way the election was
handled, the White House believes that the Pakistani elections were not free
and fair. The US administration, the European Union and the UK have called for
an investigation into allegations or claims of interference in Pakistani
elections.
John Kirby said, "Watching it very closely. As I
understand it, the votes are still being split." So international
observers are still taking a look at these complications. In addition, the
spokesperson of the US State Department, Matthew Miller, said that not only in
Pakistan, but everywhere in the world, there should be a full investigation of
the allegations like fraud, that is why they will continue to demand the
investigation of the allegations.
