The NRP is opposed to the amendments to Articles 145 and 146 of the constitution that will lead to a non-universal election for the position of district councils, as well as those for the provincial, municipal and city councils conducted exclusively by commune councilors. In a statement issued on 15 January, the NRP said that it understands that the use of commune councilors to elect district, provincial, municipal and city councils is not regular, and it is not in agreement with the governing rules either. The NRP statement said that it supports the election for these councils, but that they must be conducted in a general election, with the participation of the general public.
