Opposition parties challenged the CEC's decisions and approached the Supreme Court, while six metro stations in the city were temporarily closed for security reasons.
The recent decisions of the Central Election Commission (CEC) have sparked intense dissatisfaction among opposition parties. Several senior leaders consider the new rules imposed by the CEC to be an obstacle to the democratic process and have expressed their intention to take the issue to the Supreme Court. In this context, representatives of the opposition alliance have collectively decided to march to the Supreme Court, anticipating a detailed hearing on the dispute. This move is heightening tension in the political climate, where opposition parties are questioning the CEC’s transparency and independence and demanding reforms in the electoral process.
Meanwhile, security forces in the city, in response to recent protests, have temporarily closed 6 major metro stations. The closed stations are primarily located near commercial and residential areas, forcing commuters to adopt alternative routes. Authorities said the step was necessary to ensure public safety and prevent potential disorder. Metro management has assured passengers that timely information will be provided and alternative transport options will be made available.
Both the opposition leaders’ Supreme Court march and the metro closures highlight the complexities of the current political environment. It is clear that the upcoming judicial hearings and administrative measures will affect not only the political balance but also citizens’ daily lives. All parties are expected to seek solutions through dialogue and legal processes so that the credibility of democratic institutions remains intact.
