“In Addition, adequate security has been put in place by the commission in collaboration with security agencies through the Inter Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) to secure the voters,
“There is also adequate security for election officials, accredited observers, accredited journalists, election materials, among others, during the election.
