"...the elections were overseen by the UN"
No, they weren't.
"An 84-delegate international observer delegation monitored the elections.""R. Michael Alvarez argued that "despite all the progress, however, the voting process was plagued by a series of manipulations. Violations were committed by both major political parties, namely Fatah and Hamas. Although, the observers reported, Hamas had an advantage in mobilizing Palestinian facilities for its own political purposes."[32] Violating the code of conduct, Hamas was able to use its militias and networks for propaganda and intimidation purposes, as well as heavily utilizing mosques for that purpose.[33] A national monitoring committee set up by the Arab Thought Forum recorded reports of 242 violations in total throghout the election."
