It’s difficult to summarize but:

- Same guy rules the country since 2002

- He pushed country more and more to a centralized government (The system changed more than once during his rule)

- He pushed people more and more to a divided polarized situation.

- Religious, conservative, nationalist people (which is happy to see a strong leader opress “all his enemies”) against people who stood for freedom of speech, want to see a more democratic governed instead of a “king-like” figure doesn’t care much about law (and openly states that), and secular (feeling disturbed because some decisions made by this government according to the islamic rules) etc…

- Even if the country is getting more and more rot from inside and out due to corruption (it is confessed by many people this guy who rules the country personally gained billions of dollars from government investments).

- One political party went for a election campaign with the full support of government sources, and with centralized media. Two days before election Current president talk with 17 reporters from 17 TV channels and answered their pre-prepared questions.

- It comes to a point if you have luxurious Car with Sign Plate that has the letters of the Political Ruler party in it no police would risk his job by stopping you. Because if you know the right people you would just make him lose his/her job…

- This might be the last actual semi-democratic election we will ever had because things will get much worse from this point on, more corruption more centralization…
