ISLAMABAD – Pakistan held its closely watched elections on Thursday, but almost 30 hours after polling, people are still looking for results.

As all eyes are on election numbers, the United States, Islamabad’s ally, said it looked forward to “timely and complete results that reflect the will of the Pakistani people”.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Washington joins credible international and local election observers in their assessment that these elections included undue restrictions on freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly.

United States condemned electoral violence and expressed concerns about allegations of interference in the electoral process. It also called for interference and fraud to be fully investigated.

The administration was prepared to work with the next Pakistani government, regardless of political party, to advance our shared interests, including trade, investment and security cooperation.

Vote count is underway after 128 million people in South Asian nation exercised their right to vote to elect their representatives amid countrywide internet and mobile shutdown, political violence, and terror attacks.
