The truth is, with no international media and no international observers, and the electoral process being run by an occupation authority, there is not a single claim that can be verified.
As Swamp Rat says, this is not an election.
On edit - We are now so far down the rabbit hole, that an "election" that we would have laughed at Stalin for pulling off in an occupied east block county in 1952 is being hailed as a triumph for democracy.
