MRC: Mamadou Mota hits back at Pierre Emmanuel Binyam after Tiriane Noah's victory

After Tiriane Balbine Noah won the MRC presidency, her campaign director, Mamadou Mota, responded to accusations from Pierre Emmanuel Binyam’s camp. Binyam withdrew on October 15, arguing that credible and fair election conditions no longer existed, but his name remained on the ballots at the convention in Odza. Mota says the electoral commission could no longer change the candidate lists and ballots hours before the vote, and that MRC rules do not provide for a last-minute withdrawal. The article notes that the statutory provisions Mota cites are not reproduced in his post.
