IEBC to meet governors next week over 2017 elections

Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission CEO Ezra Chiloba.

The electoral commission scheduled a meeting with governors to discuss its strategic plan for the 2017 elections launched last month.

Of particular interest is the mass voter registration set to kick off on February 15 to March 15.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission had announced it would gazette voter registration centres and officials by February 1 but yesterday said it will be done next week.

According to communication between the commission and the Council of Governors (CoG), the discussions will be held next week and will be based on election preparations.

CoG Chairperson Peter Munya appealed to his counterparts to attend the meeting.
