Sources explained that CORD and Jubilee negotiators were yet to agree on whether seven or nine commissioners would be recruited in the new-look IEBC. The team would also recommend a seamless transition between the nine commissioners led by Issack Hassan and the new team. With respect to the IEBC secretariat, the committee is expected to recommend that the existing commission’s disciplinary mechanisms be applied as appropriate. The committee has reportedly agreed to a selection panel appointed by the President to recruit the new poll commissioners. The parties reportedly agreed that IEBC should engage an independent body to conduct a technical audit of the Principal Voters Register.
