Power goes out in Tripoli

And, just as feared before the election, electricity has gone out in the northern city of Tripoli.

The Al Jadeed TV channel is showing voters using torches to vote in the darkness in polling stations.

Meanwhile, Tripoli hasn’t had electricity since 3pm*. @ALJADEEDNEWS correspondent shows voters using phone flashlights to find their names

Tripoli has been abandoned by leaders for years, and feel the sting more so now (https://t.co/MztF4vehmw)

Just a reminder that election monitors warned that power cuts could lead to massive electoral fraud.
