On August 21, 2024, the Presidential Transitional Council (PTC) announced in a statement that the formation of the Provisional Electoral Council (PEC) will be completed by the end of the month. The PTC urged the various sectors to submit the names of the remaining candidates, emphasizing the urgency of this task to adhere to the established timeline.
Criticism regarding the slow pace of the PEC’s formation has intensified in recent weeks, prompting the PTC to respond. The council attributed the delays to disputes between institutions and non-compliance with the provided guidelines and promised that the August 28, 2024 deadline will be met.
To address the delays, the PTC has granted an additional extension until August 26 to sectors that have not yet submitted their proposals. This extension aims to ensure a representative composition of the PEC, reflecting the choices of the various sectors involved.
