🚨 Clarification on Election Polls: Twitter Poll ≠ Scientific Poll 🚨

⭕️ Polls on social media like X (formerly Twitter) aren't scientifically valid; they capture views from a narrow, non-representative audience.
⭕️ Scientific election polls conducted by @numberslka adhere to rigorous methodologies, including randomized sampling, appropriate weighting to reflect demographic variations, and advanced statistical analysis to ensure accurate, unbiased results.
⭕️ We have come across several "news" reports and social media pages claiming that a certain candidate is winning the election based on our Twitter poll, falsely presenting it as a legitimate scientific poll conducted by us. This is completely inaccurate.
✅ Here are the results of the scientific polls we have conducted so far:
1. First poll: AKD leads but under 50% -https://t.co/g4DYAtAF5C
2. Second poll: AKD leads, Ranil surges - https://t.co/UzLahCzqIb
3. Third poll: Results will be released on 18th.

A good rule of thumb to follow is: If the results of a poll are displayed immediately after you respond, those polls are non-scientific. The results of such polls, if they aren’t manipulated, only reflect that particular domain and are often not representative, regardless of the number of responses. They do not reflect the actual outcome of anything and are mostly for entertainment purposes only.
Please don't be misled by these inaccurate reports. We appreciate everyone who reached out to us regarding the claims made by social media pages and "news" sites. 🙏
