She added: 'Perhaps the most prominent of these methods is to buy votes for small amounts of money', indicating that 'these candidates rely to go to the slums and buy the votes of those funds'.

"Those who use these methods with the citizens will become corrupt when taking office in the government. This is what emerged from those who arrived at the parliament after the last elections. They used these means and became Corrupt and get bribes and the country is in chaos and administrative corruption. '

"They offered $ 5 to each member of my family who is allowed to vote, in return for the election of one of the candidates," Ali Abdullah was quoted as saying.

"This is one of the means used by bankrupts who do not have the masses or the electoral balance, and know that their access to parliament is impossible unless they use these twisted and illegal methods."

"This means has increased more rapidly during this current election cycle due to the large number of candidates and the intense competition," the source said, adding that he offered to sell his voice in exchange for a phone recharge card.
