{The National Commission of Elections (NEC) says that there should be no confusion regarding district administrative committees as their terms of service expire, with those that have served for two terms not allowed to post their candidature. }
NEC revealed this in a press briefing last Friday emphasizing that nine district leaders and 14 deputy mayors that have served for two terms are not permitted by the constitution to stand again.
NEC unveiled that outgoing leaders will leave offices when the final list of candidates is released.
Charles Munyaneza, the NEC executive secretary told the media that local leaders’ leadership can’t go beyond two term limits they are granted.
