Electoral violence has been a persistent concern in elections. Citizens have lost sleep and remained anxious over the issue since the first national pre-independence elections. Even a notable presidential election, recognized internationally, was not without tension. Various electoral malpractices have occurred, including political intimidation and vote buying.
