EC to meet after reform talks with Consensus Commission, focus on RPO amendment, poll lawsThe Election Commission (EC) has called a key meeting to discuss a series of proposed amendments to electoral laws, a day after holding its first formal meeting with the National Consensus Commission on implementing urgent electoral reforms. All four election commissioners, the EC secretary, and senior staff will be in attendance, according to Md Shariful Alam, EC public relations chief. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Consensus Commission said the meeting discussed the progress of implementing key recommendations and exchanged views on relevant issues tied to electoral reform. In March, the Cabinet Division sought opinions from a dozen ministries on 121 “immediately actionable” recommendations made by five of the commissions, nine of which came from the Electoral System Reform Commission. The EC’s engagement with the Consensus Commission also comes amid parallel dialogues between political parties and the commission to build agreement on the path to the next election.
