He further said, “We also noticed that some candidates had started their campaigns from 20th October which is before the official date of canvassing. According to our analysis of all the candidates contesting for both the parliament and municipal election, about 35 per cent has violated the canvassing laws. The total number of violation cases is 68 in the five governorates and the Southern governorate had the lowest violation of 10.29 per cent.”
