that Parliament, not this particular one, but the previous Parliament. When we considered the IEBC Amendment Act, we allocated ourselves four positions out of seven in the selection panel where the courts felt that was too much from one institution. We have reduced from four to two and distributed it to other interested parties, including professional bodies like LSK and auditors.There was a big fight why LSK was needed in it, but eventually it was agreed that they will have one nominee. On audit of the 2022 presidential election, the committee recommended that in this House, there will be a ...

On boundaries delimitation, the committee has recommended that the intervals within which review of boundaries may be done with the resolution of Parliament, investigation of claims of marginalization by the relevant body and made provisions for fast tracking of a legal framework for review of county boundaries as provided under Article 188.
