    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Yes, the 80 new constituencies created by the Constitution will be available for contest during the next General Election as per the provisions of Article 89(1) and Article 97(1)(a) of the Constitution. Preparation for ensuring that the constituencies are available for contest in the next General Election is a mandate conferred upon the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The Government has facilitated the establishment of the Commission by providing administrative and logistical support to the selection panel charged with the recruitment of the members of the IEBC. The selection panel has completed the selection of nominees and forwarded names to the President and the Prime Minister. The President and the Prime Minister are considering the names before forwarding the preferred nominees to this House for approval. Upon approval and appointment, the Commission will be in a position to complete the delimitation exercise as provided for under the Constitution. Thank you!"
