Key immediate tasks include finalizing the structure and allocation of N.A. and People’s Council seats, holding consultative conferences to nominate candidates, announcing candidate lists, forming local election bodies, intensifying communication and public information, and ensuring security, order, inspection, and oversight of election law compliance, all aimed at delivering elections that are democratic, lawful, safe, cost-effective and select deputies of integrity and capability who truly represent the people’s will, aspirations and right to mastery.
