- JEDDAH: Citizens make many difficult demands from candidates in municipal elections in Saudi Arabia.
- On the other hand, in Rafha, Northern Border Province, a candidate has made a demand from a man who caused a traffic accident in which the candidate’s expensive car was damaged.
The offender, in this case a voter, will be spared punishment if the victim, in this case a candidate, waives his claim as the victim of the accident. The candidate told the voter that he would make the waiver if only the man guarantees his vote to the candidate.
The municipal elections are scheduled for September, a local Arabic daily reported on Saturday.
