Of the thirteen members of the CNE, three will come from civil society organisations. The law states that civil society bodies may propose candidates for the CNE to an ad-hoc committee set up by the Assembly. From the names proposed, the ad-hoc committee will draw up a short list of between 12 and 16 names that will be submitted to the Assembly plenary.
A secret ballot vote in the plenary of parliament will choose the three CNE members, while the three runners-up become supplementary members who will take over if any of the full members dies, resigns or is incapacitated.
Among those who have put forward their names are the Director of the weekly journal “Magazine Independente”, Salomoa Moyana; the chairperson of the Human Rights League (LDH), Alice Mabota; law professor Giles Cistac; and television commentator Venancio Mondlane.
The spokesperson of the Electoral Observatory, Abdul Carimo, told “Domingo” that public consultation about who should be put forward by civil society organisations will take place on Tuesday.
