Allouch Says Electoral Law Made 'Long Journey' but Last Details Count
Al-Mustaqbal Movement official and former MP Mustafa Allouch said the electoral law has made a long journey but some “details” still need to be discussed, as he voiced concerns about failure in that regard.
“The voting system law has made the 1000 miles journey and only the last 500 miles remain,” said Allouch in an interview to VDL (93.3).
However the MP voiced concerns “if the remaining obstacles are not overcome.”
He said the remaining complexities that still stand in the way of adopting the law are the “method of calculating votes, representation of expatriates and the gender representation,” considering the proportional law on the basis of 15 electoral districts as “complex and needs explanation.”
The political parties have agreed on an electoral law based on full proportional representation and 15 electoral districts and the details will be finalized before the expiry of parliament's term
