Some of the opposition parties have been complaining of the lack of media coverage they have received, this might be one explanation. Even the method of voting is pretty odd. Basically the list of candidates is being kept secret so you vote only for a party/list. There are no constituencies, each party gets a number of candidates elected in proportion to what its (supposed) national vote was.
