Violence during elections can have severe consequences, including undermining voter confidence, discouraging turnout, and disrupting the voting process. It can also lead to the destruction of electoral materials, delays in results, and questions about the legitimacy of the outcome. In extreme cases, electoral violence damages the country's democratic integrity and fuels long-term political and social instability.
As voting continues and nears its conclusion, it is essential for all electors, political parties, and citizens to remain committed to the principles of peace and fairness. The outcome of the election should reflect the will of the people, and this can only be achieved in an environment where respect for each other's views and rights prevails.
Regardless of political affiliation, it is crucial to avoid actions or rhetoric that could incite violence or division. By advocating for peace, we contribute to the strengthening of our democratic processes and ensure that the election remains a fair and transparent reflection of the collective voice of the nation.
