Several US politicians have demanded an investigation into allegations of rigging and fraud in the Pakistan election.
“I call on the State Department to refrain from recognising the results until credible, independent investigations have been conducted into the numerous allegations of misconduct,” US Congress member Ilhan Omar tweeted.
Representative Susan Wild said, “Now is the time for the international community to stand” with the people of Pakistan.
Congressman Ro Khanna said he was “deeply concerned by the growing evidence that the military is interfering and rigging the result to overturn the will of the Pakistani people”.
