Not only that, but his party also destroyed damaged ballots such as torn ink. So that it can lead to unwanted indications.

"There is a stain of ink, maybe a candidate on his face, or his body is exposed to ink so that it will disturb someone or maybe later he thinks he has been given a sign," he concluded.
