“This bill, of course, is very important. You know that this is the law that regulates elections. As we are talking about elections, then there is a need for us to have the election law amended so that it conforms with the provisions of the agreement and start the preparations for elections,” said Makuei.
The senior government official said that 50 percent of the parliamentary seats will go to constituencies, 35 for women, 13 for youth, and 2 for people with special needs.
“Concerning the 50 percent of the geographical constituency, of course there is no problem because it is an individual constituency you go and contest,” he said.
“For others, the discussion was how the representation will be, and it was agreed that the 35 percent of women should be in accordance with party lists, and the others also agreed that the 10 percent of party lists and the three percent of youth should be according to party lists, as well as the two percent for the people with disabilities should be in party lists.
“This is the only way we can run smooth elections,” he added.
