Lawmakers want "political parties" in Independent Election Commission's new name
The Lower House of Parliament on Monday turned down an amendment by the Senate to the name of the Independent Election Commission (IEC).
Before the draft IEC law was submitted to the upper house, the deputies added 'political parties' to the name of the IEC. However, the senators deleted the addition and sent the bill back to the lower house as per the constitution.
In a session today, the deputies insisted on having 'political parties' incorporated in the election commission's name. Should both chambers dig in, they will have to convene a joint session and vote on the draft.
