This achievement marks a significant shift in the political landscape, as the party garnered a majority of seats, allowing them more control over legislative processes. The lead-up to the election saw intense campaigning from various political factions, with major public issues focused on economic policies, social welfare reforms, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic recovery efforts.
