The United National Movement (UNM) has formally petitioned the Central Election Commission (CEC) to preserve its electoral number.
Similarly, the Coalition for Change has also appealed to the CEC to retain its designated electoral number.
According to the coalition’s statement, this appeal is based on amendments made to the Election Code in 2021 and is “in no way connected to participation in the so-called local elections, which are marred by falsification, criminality, and orchestrated by Russian interests.”
