Elections Observer Group (ELOG) has tabled its findings and recommendations on the just concluded presidential repeat polls.
In a report released on Friday, the group expressed concern over the low voter turnout experienced in most parts of the country.
They attributed the low voter turnout to election boycott calls by the Opposition wing NASA and insecurity incidences reported in the country on election day.
“While it was indicative that many of the polling stations had opened in time and had the requisite strategic materials, it was also clear from other field reports that in many parts of the country, there was very little activity in respect to opening and voting processes,” the report said in part.
The group further called on the government to end Police brutality on unarmed civilians.
About 1,700 election field observers spread across 215 constituencies oversaw the voting process in the country.
