The Citizen Participation (CP) civic movement on Monday, 22 June 2020 accused the government of using the coronavirus pandemic to “sow terror” among the population, to increase abstention in the 5 July presidential and congressional elections.

What these people are doing to this country

major problem at some point in the not

Whenever the party in power fears they will lose the next election they will do what they can to suppress the vote.
