Paragraph 28
 

The increased threshold was adopted sufficiently ahead of the next parliamentary elections and was broadly supported by electoral stakeholders. No concern was raised on the additional percentage of votes required to secure an electoral victory and the potential need for a second round of voting. Moreover, although this could increase the workload of the CEC and require more financial and human resources, confidence was expressed in the Parliament to provide the CEC with the additional required resources.
