Member of the HNEC, Abdul Hakim Al-Shaab, said that the statement of “force majeure”, which was published on the commission’s website, is completely false. And that the HNEC news website had been hacked, which is the reason for publishing the statement.
Al-Shaab confirmed, during a statement to Arraed, on Friday, that work is now underway to track the problem, and the Commission is striving to solve it and not to repeat it.
Al-Shaab reassured everyone that what happened was only the news website and the Commission’s Facebook page, while the systems and citizens’ data are under strict protection and cannot be hacked.
It is worth noting that the HNEC published, on Friday, a statement in the name of the “Declaration of Force Majeure” accusing one of the candidates for the elections, who holds a foreign nationality, of using military force against the HNEC and its directors, before it was deleted from the official website.
