  Doubts raised in US over fairness of Pakistan elections

  Pakistan watchers in the US on Thursday doubted the fairness of the general election for which Imran Khan's party received the army's backing while the PML-N and the PPP ran their campaigns "under constraints". The Trump administration said it was closely monitoring the situation in Pakistan but refused to declare the polls "free and fair". The State Department too refused to confirm that. Its mission in Pakistan did not deploy election observers primarily because of security concerns.

  "We continue to monitor developments and have consistently emphasised our support for free, fair, transparent and accountable elections in Pakistan, as we do around the world," a State Department spokesperson told the Press Trust of India. - PTI

  Imran Khan can't fix Pakistan's foreign policy

  If Imran Khan becomes the next Pakistan prime minister, one of the major challenges ahead of him would be repairing the broken foreign relations of the country, writes Mehreen Zahra-Malik in Foreign Policy. She writes the Pakistan's relationship with the US and Afghanistan have been the most frayed in recent decades over accusations of the state allowing the Haqqani network to operate out of Pakistani soil. Khan built his electoral campaign on anti-American/US rhetoric. It is expected that Khan will have to form an alliance with Independents, who follow the military, to gain the top post which will leave him dependent on the army for foreign policy-related matters. She writes: "Indeed, power has a moderating influence on most leaders, likely including Khan—not least because the Pakistani military, the main beneficiary of security aid and the real decision-maker when it comes to all things foreign policy, is keen to salvage its relationship with the United States."
