After the October 26 parliamentary elections, the opposition claimed that they were fraudulent and that the results should not be recognized. Last Monday, the opposition held a large rally in front of the parliament demanding an international audit and new elections under international control.
The rally lasted several hours and went off without incident. No new plans for the rallies have been announced at this time. The opposition is conducting additional consultations and says it is busy collecting evidence of election fraud.
In response, the ruling party claims that the opposition is trying to justify its defeat by talking about election fraud.
