Observers were deployed across the country to all nine provinces and met with election officials, candidates, political parties, media representatives, domestic observers and voters. On Election Day, they visited polling stations and counting centres in all electoral districts to observe voting and counting. The EU EOM issued a preliminary statement on 19 August and remained in the country to observe post-election developments.
