“Based on the spirit of the agreement [made in a meeting] on September 16, 2013, both parties have agreed to the reformation of the National Election Committee [NEC] . . . membership now has to be appointed by the National Assembly with the majority vote of the whole parliament.”

The NEC will comprise nine members, four from each main party and one independent representative to be determined, the statement continues.

“Four will be from the ruling party, four have to be selected from the other party sitting in the National Assembly . . . the other one has to be selected based on agreement between the two parties.”
