An unofficial statistic following the Riyadh Chamber elections revealed that the number of voters who were entitled to vote did not exceed 1000 voters in the branches of the Chamber outside Riyadh, while the number of those who were not entitled to vote reached the same number, In the same context, the head of the committee supervising the elections for the seventeenth session of the Board of Directors, Yahya Azzan, explained that the elections in the branches of the Chamber, which were held yesterday and the first yesterday in the governorates of Harimla, Sajir, Mizahimiya, Al-Jamish and Houta Bani Tamimi, were conducted smoothly and perfectly and there is no truth to what is raised about the failure of the system in the branches, stressing that the branches were warned that in the event of any defects, whether the Internet network or electricity failure, the time for voters is extended for the same duration of the defect.

In the meantime, Azzan stressed that in case there is the passing of false information or fictitious or hidden names by some media outlets, the Ministry of Trade and Investment has the right to address the newspapers to find out the source of the information to verify its credibility and investigate it.

In addition, election observers warned against using the media irregularly or passing any false information, which may be used against him in the coming period by other candidates. It is noteworthy that some candidates have already started to write down and control the violations that they consider a violation of the system from other candidates, explaining that the election system has already been clearly announced to the candidates by the supervisory committee during their meeting with them, including prohibiting them from speaking or announcing in the media directly about the elections, while allowing them to speak about public issues and allowing them to use social networking sites and websites, and prohibiting advertising in public squares and streets, and allowing them to communicate with voters either by phone or sending work teams or delegates to voters to introduce them to the candidate's electoral program directly.

It is noteworthy that the strong and heated competition between the candidates and what may result in rancor or misunderstanding between the candidates during the elections may deprive those who plan for the chairmanship of the Riyadh Chamber Board of Directors, as they must obtain the trust and vote of the rest of the board members who were his competitors during the elections.
