The Independent Electoral Commission enjoyed broad stakeholders' trust and, against budgetary and time constraints, delivered elections in a commendable manner, the EU mission added.
According to the EU, the tabulation of results was observed in all regional collation centres. The election day proceeded in an orderly manner, and knowledgeable polling station staff efficiently facilitated voting.
On April 6, observers drawn from EU member states, Norway and Switzerland observed the legislative election day proceedings in 222 polling stations across the country.
