The United States says it is continuing to monitor Pakistan’s electoral process quite closely.

State Department’s Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said Washington wants to see that process takes place in a way that facilitates broad participation with respect for freedom of expression, assembly, and associations.

The Spokesperson further said that people of Pakistan deserve to exercise their fundamental right to choose their future leaders through free and fair elections without fear, violence, or intimidation.
