The Army Commander-in-Chief, General Rodolph Haykal, conducted an inspection tour of military operations rooms overseeing the municipal elections. The visit aimed to monitor closely the security measures implemented by deployed Army units to ensure the orderly conduct of the vote.
In his remarks, General Haykal stressed that the success of the elections would be a testament to the effectiveness of the institutions involved — specifically the Army’s role in maintaining public order.
“Any breach of security will not be tolerated,” he declared, adding that a significant number of individuals involved in celebratory gunfire and other acts undermining public safety had already been arrested during the first two phases of the electoral process, which began on May 4.
He went on to affirm that such arrests would continue “until all those responsible are held to account.”
Addressing the soldiers, Haykal praised their professionalism and discipline: “You are carrying out your mission in exemplary fashion — something essential to ensuring that citizens are able to exercise their right to vote.”
