UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres "looks forward" to the formation of a new government in Pakistan and stressed the world body's commitment to support the country's Election Commission amid allegations by a group of political parties of vote rigging.
Guterres congratulated the people of Pakistan for "exercising their constitutional right to vote" during national elections on July 25 and reaffirming their commitment to a democratic Pakistan.
In a statement issued yesterday by his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, Guterres commended Pakistan's EC "for the organisation of the elections, noting positive initiatives related to training and efforts to enhance the inclusion of women, persons with disabilities and other marginalised groups, as well as first-time voters, in the electoral process."
