Adly said although the voter’s return happened to coincide with the festive season, the person’s determination to return and cast a ballot on Nov 14 was greatly appreciated, reflecting the strong commitment of voters living abroad.

“I appreciate their sacrifice, even though they returned early, possibly because of the festive holidays. I truly appreciate it because, usually, during state elections, it is difficult to see overseas voters returning home to vote, unlike during a national general election,” he told reporters.
