Protests against the voter‑roll revision are spreading, with farmer groups now planning to take part, Bloomberg reports.
Protests over the government's recent voter‑roll revision have intensified in several parts of the country, drawing larger crowds than earlier demonstrations. Demonstrators allege that the changes could disenfranchise voters and are demanding a transparent review process.
According to Bloomberg, major farmer organisations have announced their intention to join the rallies, signalling a convergence of electoral and agrarian grievances. The planned participation is expected to broaden the geographic spread of the protests and add a new dimension to the movement.
Authorities have noted the growing momentum but have not provided detailed statements on how the concerns will be addressed. The situation remains fluid as both political activists and farmer leaders coordinate further actions.
