Taskforce says new constitution to take time to draft
An election official prepares ballot boxes for voting during the 2020 polls. A government-backed taskforce on political reform has accepted some of opposition demands for an independent electoral commission.
Prof Rwekaza Mukandala, the taskforce’s chairman, said the National Electoral Commission should not be answerable to any government agency and an "independent" committee led by the Chief Justice be formed to vet applications for selection of NEC commissioners.
