In a statement made this afternoon to the press, the president of the Electoral Agency, Ahmed Bartchiret praised the smooth running of this campaign.

Call for boycott
Since the start of the electoral process, part of the opposition has called for a boycott, denouncing “ a botched process. »
In a press release issued this Friday, the political section of the citizen platform ‘Wakit mare‘ called for a boycott. According to his deputy coordinator, Youssouf Ahmat Ousmane, “ these elections are devoid of any credibility and resemble a charade orchestrated by a strong and dynastic power. »
On the side of the Consultation Group of Political Actors (GCAP), a parallel campaign calling for a boycott was defeated during the period dedicated to the electoral campaign. The Group denounces “ a manipulated and non-inclusive process. »
The Transformers, who are largely absent from this triple ballot, have not yet given their position. Their president, Succès Masra, will speak on December 28 to give voting instructions to his activists.
