Justice Ali Baqir Najafi commented, "The Election Commission must take measures to ensure fair and transparent elections. Time is limited, and it is crucial to adhere to court directives. The court supports you, but the responsibility for implementation lies with you. If the Election Commission is unwilling to fulfill its duties, that's a separate issue. The Supreme Court's orders are explicit, and all administrations fall under the jurisdiction of the Election Commission. The complaints raised are significant."
