administered, transparent and took place in an amicable and constructive
environment. Fundamental freedoms of expression, movement, and assembly were
respected and candidates were able to campaign without restriction. The
campaign environment was without major irregularities. The media was less polarized
during this election, and presented a broad range of viewpoints. On election
