Television debates had a major impact on the outcome of the presidential election. Several senior politicians have urged a response to the 213,738 spoilt ballots recorded in the election. The 213,738 invalid votes represented 13% of all votes cast on Friday. The number of spoilt votes increased more than tenfold compared with the last presidential election, when there were 18,438 invalid ballots. The unusually high volume of invalid ballots has prompted concern about electoral processes and generated calls for measures to address the causes of spoiled votes.
