“The voting was efficient and peacefully in most of the polling stations. We congratulate the observers and workers who were dedicated to the Election Day, who worked during a national holiday and under a extreme heat conditions”, the US declaration says.

“International observers noted incidents of vote purchase, vote photographs and pressure against voters. The police and other election officials responded to most of these complaints, some of which ended up with arrests. Although some of the violations were serious and need to be addressed, they were not widespread to the point of affecting the general election result”, the declaration says.
