Paragraph 72
 
72.  The law requires new elections within 60 days of “unsuccessful” elections. However, it is not clear what constitutes an “unsuccessful” election since a second round winner only requires more votes than the opposing candidate. The OSCE/ODIHR and the Venice Commission recommend that the law be amended to define what constitutes an “unsuccessful” election.
