The election rule says:

=====

"Within three days of the closing date of voting, the candidate who has
received the largest number of votes shall be declared elected President and
shall assume office not later than thirty days thereafter."

=====

The closing date was June 28. So three days means by JULY 1, (today) the
result should be announced.

The rule also does not say that the election committee should take three
full days before declaring the result. Since all it takes is adding about
100 numbers - 2 candidates multiplied by the number of sections/agencies --
should not take that much time, unless other issues are being examined by
the committee, due to the unusual nature of this years' electioneering.

Any rumors?
