The reporter stated that Al-Fatah Alliance and the resistance factions lead the movements, refusing any internal fighting in the aim to thwart plots of sedition.
In this context, protesters asserted that the Electoral Commission numbers do not match those registered on their machines.
This comes following the Coordination Framework’s previous rejection of the elections' results.
