Ethekon outlined the commission’s priorities, emphasising the need for cooperation among stakeholders to protect the integrity of the electoral process.
The commission said it remained committed to delivering elections that are peaceful, inclusive, free, fair and credible.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability, saying it would safeguard every stage of the electoral process and work to strengthen public confidence in the polls.
