Almost one year after it released the draft amendments to the Representation of the People Act (RoPA), the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance yesterday held the first national stakeholders’ consultation where it informed that government is proposing the subdivision of Electoral Districts Three, Four and Six.
The information was relayed by Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall SC during his address to the eighty-plus attendees from civil society, government and the Opposition.
The stakeholder consultation was called to discuss the government’s proposed amendments to RoPA and the National Registration Act (NRA) and was held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre. The draft amendments are a result of the attempts to rig the March 2 2020 general and regional elections, which saw a five-month delay between balloting and the declaration of the final results.
