MORONI - Opposition candidates said Sunday’s presidential poll in Comoros was marred by irregularities including barring of independent monitors and marking of ballot papers before voting began, charges rejected by the government.
About 300,000 voters in the Indian ocean archipelago of 800,000 people took part in the poll, with results expected to be announced by the electoral body CENI on Monday. “Election monitors for various independent candidates did not receive necessary accreditation documents to access the polling stations,” the 12 opposition candidates said in a joint statement on Sunday.
The opposition also accused authorities of arresting some of their representatives and preventing others from accessing CENI’s premises.“The poll took place in a calm and peaceful atmosphere,” he said, adding voter turn out was 40 percent.
