January 19, 2008 (KHARTOUM) — The National Constitutional Review Commission (NCRC) is expected to conclude political consultations on the new electoral system for all the political forces in the country by the end of next week.

The Secretary General of the NCRC, Majed Yousef El-Amin, reaffirmed the keenness of the commission to implement fully its mission. He added that the electoral law is considered one of the most important laws that drive the democratic process in the country.

He stressed the importance of listening to the views of all political forces particularly political parties that are not represented in the Government of National Unity, or NCRC, to drum up support and achieve compromise and national political consensus on the draft law.

Ghazi Suleiman, SPLM, member of the NCRC said the meeting gave the signatories of Naivasha the opportunity to resolve all points of contention between them.

He further added that NCRC stressed the need to expedite the preparation of the electoral law for the elections according to schedule set by the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in the end of 2009.
