An opposition coalition in the Central African Republic has called for an annulment of the presidential and legislative elections last Sunday, as they say, a third of voters were unable to cast their vote due to insecurity.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Democratic Opposition Coalition (COD-2020), said the elections “were not fair and inclusive and are in no way the expression of the people’s will”.
The group condemned an “electoral farce”, and alleged widespread ballot stuffing and complained of a lack of observers in remote areas.
“Given that the elections… were not an expression of the will of the Central African people,” the coalition called for the “outright cancellation and repeat of elections”.
