We are aware that work is difficult and tense. We have evidence that not in a few problematic cases, obstructing the process comes from subjective positions or even political interference of candidates or even political representatives. The CEC has reacted and after the intervention, the situation has changed, at least to those KZAZ problems. Currently, we have no information that in any KZAZ the number” is cut off, Celibashi said.
Celibashi has reacted to the opposition's statements during the day of the ballot boxes have been opened preferentially to create an advantage of the majority aimed at discouraging the numberers.
He has flatly denied something like that, saying that the order of opening the ballot boxes is clearly defined in the Electoral Code.
“From the verification we made does not result in the opening of ballot boxes being made preferentially. The requirements of the law for the consecutive opening of ballot boxes” have been respected, Celibashi said.
Otherwise, the voting counting process is continuing in all of the country's districts. After 7:00 p.m., nearly 900 thousand votes -- more than 62% of the boxes -- from which the Socialist Party, which according to the current project, could receive up to 75 mandates, PD 58, LSI 5 and Social Democrat Party 2 mandates.
