political parties are free to conduct election
campaigns under the laws, Farid Ayar, a media expert

campaigns must not foment ethnic, religious,
sectarian, tribal or regional disputes and that no
government properties may be used for campaigning.
He also warned that candidates must not bribe voters
to influence their decision.
