duty on this important day. He commends the efforts of the Government,
the Election Commission of Pakistan, political parties, civil society and
religious leaders to encourage voter turnout, particularly amongst women.

heartfelt condolences to the families of all the victims. He acknowledges
the efforts being made by the Government of Pakistan to ensure the safety and
security of candidates, party workers, election officials, observers and voters
