The electoral process’s lack of transparency and the ongoing allegations of manipulation have sparked doubts about the democratic process’s credibility. To preserve democratic values, the ECP must act swiftly to allay these worries and guarantee that elec­tions are held in an impartial and open manner. It is equally crucial to acknowledge, though, that other political parties, should they be able to get the necessary numbers through legal proce­dures, also possess the right to establish government. It is imperative that all political actors demonstrate maturity by abstaining from raising ten­sions that may result in conflicts between various parties. In the end, all political parties and institutions must put the interests of the country above their own partisanship in order to preserve stability and ensure that democracy endures for the sake of all cit­izens’ prosperity.
