The NLA has assigned the local administration committee to study related laws to see which would have to be amended to pave the way for elections. The elections, he said, would not affect preparation of the organic laws, with just three last bills to be deliberated ahead of the national election. As to when the ban on political gatherings would be lifted, he said that would be up to the National Council for Peace and Order.
