Reps threaten to revisit Electoral Act amendment

Peoples Democratic Party members of the House of Representatives have threatened to revisit the

amendment to the Electoral Act 2010, if the proposal to include them in the party’s National Executive
Committee fails.

The leadership of the party has proposed to amend its constitution to include Senators and members of
the House in the membership of the NEC.

The Senate, gave its position on the contentious issue on Wednesday last week when it
backed the inclusion of at least one Senator and one House member of each of the 36 states in the
NEC. The governors are said to be afraid of a possible power tussle and control of party machinery
between them and the legislators.
