Validation of the existing order

Voters have validated the status quo with their participation as well as abstention.

It was one of the most listless elections of the post-monarchical order . Unlike in earlier polls, voters didn't have to queue up at polling stations even during morning hours . By afternoon, security personnel could be seen loitering around to overcome their boredom. Polling agents of different contestants chatted amicably with each other. Stray voters walked in and walked out minutes after casting their votes in four different ballot boxes.
