The armed forces of Pakistan have congratulated the nation on the “generally peaceful and violence-free” conduct of the general elections, and expressed the hope it would serve as a “catalyst for further strengthening democracy in Pakistan.”

“It is our fervent hope that our sacrifices would not be in vain and this election will serve as a catalyst for further strengthening democracy in Pakistan, and that it will pave the way for the realisation of the aspirations of the people of Pakistan,” the military’s media wing, the ISPR, said in a statement.

“The armed forces remain dedicated to upholding peace and security in the country and stand ready to provide unwavering support in safeguarding the democratic traditions of our state,” it stated.

The ISPR stated that the armed forces alongside other law enforcement agencies are proud to have played a pivotal role in providing security during the conduct of the sacred electoral process, in aid of civil power, and in accordance with the constitution of Pakistan.

A safe and secure environment for the public was ensured through the deployment of 137,000 army personnel and civil armed forces at approximately 6,000 selected “most sensitive” polling stations and over 7,800 QRFs, it added. “Gratitude is owed to other law enforcement agencies that worked hand in hand with the armed forces to safeguard the democratic process.”
