“The attack should be transparently and independently investigated, and the perpetrators involved should be brought to justice swiftly. We call on all parties to refrain form violence and observe a peaceful, open and transparent electoral process- one that is free, fair and credible and allows for the full expression of voters to select democratically the representatives of their choice.”
