False claims regarding demographic integration have also circulated among local voters during the campaign.

Census data contradicts the claim, showing two-thirds of Muslim women speak English as their main language, with 87.7 percent speaking it proficiently.
Other residents expressed deep dissatisfaction with the general state of national affairs.
“This country’s in a right mess,” said a middle-aged local resident, summarizing his view as “everything about it.”
