The leader Enjoys Public Support

With the present election, the opposition, insofar as it exists, has criticized the increasingly authoritarian reign of. They question whether the electorate has any power at all, or if it's all just for show. However, the support for the leader appears to remain high, and although the circumstances of the election are questioned by international community, it has not been contested domestically. It appears that even if the nation is no longer ruled by the people, the people support their ruler... at least the ones who made it to the ballots.
