Voter turnout was overwhelming and commendable; the overall electioneering process was peaceful; majority of the voters, party agents, observers, security agents and polling officials witnessed the sorting of ballots and jointly signed all the necessary documents, the group said.

On the allegation of harassment of election observers by security agents, especially the military by one of the observer groups, the coalition maintained that as far as we know and having gone round the state during the elections, we did not encounter nor hear of any harassment by the security agents.

In fact, the security agents were everywhere carrying out their routine duty of checking vehicles on election duty and we believe this was necessary in order to guard against any election fraud and other crimes, it said.
