Later in the day, Sergey Lebedev, the general secretary of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), remarked that the presidential election was competitive and conducted in accordance with the country's constitution.

"We note the election being held is competitive, with alternatives. All candidates are decent people … All candidates had the opportunity to present their programs freely during the election campaign," Lebedev said during a final briefing.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), whose delegation was sent to Azerbaijan, affirmed that the presidential election was transparent and well-coordinated. Additionally, they noted the high voter turnout during the electoral process.

"The OIC team concluded its monitoring functions and pointed out that the electoral process was conducted in a transparent, free and organized manner, with a high turnout of voters to exercise their political and civic rights," the OIC said in a statement.

Azerbaijan held a snap presidential election on Wednesday, marking the first such election since Baku gained control of Nagorno-Karabakh in September 2023.
