WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. diplomat urged Pakistan on Wednesday to investigate reported irregularities with last month's general election and re-run the vote in affected constituencies if it found credible evidence of interference.
"The Election Commission of Pakistan, should it find that these irregularities are substantiated, should re-run elections (in constituencies) where there has been interference," Donald Lu, the State Department's top official for South and Central Asia, told a congressional panel.
