With two long-awaited organic laws governing the election of MPs and political parties coming into effect, politicians are geared up for the next general election that is set to take place on May 7 -- if parliament runs its course.
All eyes are on the Election Commission (EC), which is tasked with redrawing the electoral boundaries and related poll regulations regarding the rise in the number of constituencies from 350 to 400. Meanwhile, the number of list MPs will shrink from 150 to 100, as a result of the reintroduction of two-poll ballots as well as demographic changes.
