The Democratic Party primaries are being held today, here are the candidates in all 12 districts

The Democratic Party is holding primary elections today in the country's 12 districts, from which the leadership will select candidates for MPs in the May 11 parliamentary elections.

Voting began at 08:00 and will close at 18:00. The process is “one member, one vote” and candidates are organized by districts.
