The published list excludes the 60% councillor seats in District Councils. The 213 municipal councils across the country now have 14 days within which to hold first meetings. "In the first meeting of local councils, the Commission will be conducting elections for the councillors who will be representing those local councils onto District Councils. The first meeting of district councils will naturally be preceded by the first meetings of local councils," said the IEC in a statement on Wednesday. There were 5975 male councillors elected representing 63% and 3498 female councillors elected giving a percentage of 37.
