The Election Commission has issued a strict directive prohibiting the use of the national flag and religious symbols in presidential election campaigns. In an announcement made on the 18th, the Commission emphasized that severe actions would be taken against any political party or candidate that violates this rule.
This announcement is part of a circular issued concerning the preparation of election offices, which clearly states the guidelines for campaign conduct. The use of religious symbols to influence voters is also explicitly banned under this new directive.
The Election Commission stressed the importance of maintaining the sanctity of national symbols and religious imagery, urging all parties to adhere to the rules to ensure a fair and respectful electoral process. The Commission warned that any breach of these guidelines would be met with strict penalties, aiming to preserve the integrity of the election.
