Chairman of the Boundaries Commission, Danley Phillip<\/strong>, says public engagement is a key part of the ongoing discussions to review constituency boundaries ahead of the next general elections, which are constitutionally due no later than 2028.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Phillip said the consultations aim to gather public feedback on how constituencies should be structured, including whether to maintain the existing 17 constituencies or make adjustments based on factors such as population density and shifting demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe objective is to get feedback from the public as to how they feel about the boundaries\u2014how they should be divided, or whether we should have the same number of constituencies or fewer,\u201d Phillip explained.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He added that one of the considerations is whether to redraw boundaries to ensure that entire villages fall within a single constituency, rather than being split across multiple ones.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

During Monday\u2019s session, the commission discussed various options and factors affecting each constituency, with participants contributing insights from their respective areas of expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillip expressed satisfaction with the day\u2019s progress, noting that the group\u2019s experience and input were valuable. He said additional consultations will follow, expanding to include members of the general public, youth groups, and eventually, political parties.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe plan to have a lot of consultations,\u201d Phillip said. \u201cWe plan to reinvite some of those who participated in the first session and expand it to include more stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n
