Despite repeated delays, the democratic process could finally be brought to a conclusion thanks in large part to the efficiency and professionalism of the Elections Commission.

The EU expects all political parties to put personal and ideological rivalries aside and work together to confront the serious economic and environmental challenges which the country faces.
