Police Prevent Students from Attending Election Commission Press Conference, Challenging Transparency

A group of around 10 students and citizens arrived at the Election Commission office at 3:00 PM on February 10th, seeking transparency in the election vote counting process. They were attempting to attend the press conference but were removed by police, as the area was restricted to officials and media only. One student representative expressed disappointment, stating that the Election Commission's explanations failed to address public concerns about the vote counting transparency. The students raised questions about the reported decline in voter turnout and emphasized that while they would accept election results if the process was transparent, the current lack of clarity makes it difficult to trust the election outcome. They also expressed concerns about potential voter fraud and vote-buying, noting that despite online evidence, the Election Commission seemed to take no clear action.
