Elhadj,
You have a good point here. I am at a loss why the opposition party leaders
did not catch this. At any rate, as far as trying to reveal any cheating that
took place, that is exactly what democracy is all about, the people choosing
and if this process is derailed in any way, then those who want to saveguard
the process must make sure it is revealed, otherwise, why go through the
exercise if someone can just cheat and deny the people their choices. I
think the international community would actually think something was wrong if
this transpired and was not at least brought to light. There is a big
difference on how a government is percieved if they actually cheated in the
electoral process.
