Dr Yunus also noted that the Consensus Commission is actively gathering opinions from all political parties.
“The commission aims to identify common ground among political parties and compile a consensus-based document. The parties endorsing this will sign what will be termed the ‘July Charter,’” he explained.
He assured that the government’s role is to ensure transparency in the entire process and facilitate the elections upon its completion.
