Concerns Over Voter Disenfranchisement

Abdullah expressed deep concern that the ECI’s move could disenfranchise a large number of eligible voters. He warned that such a move could potentially spark widespread protests across the nation.

Impact on Democratic Processes

The veteran politician emphasized the importance of protecting the sanctity of the electoral process and warned against any measures that could undermine the democratic rights of citizens.
