This triumph came at the expense of the Mahayuti-backed panel, which managed to hold onto just nine seats. The election, which took place on Sunday, registered a staggering near-total turnout of approximately 99.96 percent. Counting of votes was completed on Monday.
The election’s outcome marked a notable setback for several prominent losers, including Navid Mushrif, the son of Minister Hasan Mushrif, who was defeated by a margin of 69 votes.
