    "content": "Appointment as the Chairperson and Members of the IEBC; noting that, upon its appointment, the Selection Panel commenced the recruitment process and longlisted all applicants and subsequently shortlisted qualified applicants for the positions of Chairperson and Members of the IEBC; further noting that paragraph 6(1) of the First Schedule to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, CAP 7C, provides that the Selection Panel shall finalise the recruitment exercise within 90 days of its appointment and forward the names of the nominees to the President; conscious that the Selection Panel is currently undertaking the interviews of the shortlisted candidates for the positions of Chairperson and Members of the IEBC, and that, given the interview schedule of all shortlisted applicants, the Panel has inadequate time to conclude the recruitment process; further conscious of the need for the Selection Panel to ensure the recruitment process complies with the constitutional principles of regional balance, representation of the youth and overall inclusivity, while ensuring that the interviews are conducted as far as is practicable, within official working days and hours; now, therefore, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 6(2) of the First Schedule to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, CAP 7C, the Houses of Parliament resolve to extend the tenure of the Selection Panel for the Recruitment of Persons for Appointment as Chairperson and Members of the IEBC for a period of 14 days from 27th April 2025. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
