Some US lawmakers, such as Democratic US Representatives Ro Khanna and Ilham Omar, have also expressed their concerns. Khanna even said that the army was interfering and influencing the election results.
Khanna and Omar have urged the State Department not to recognize the winner until an investigation into the interference allegations is complete.
