Paragraph 65
 

The ZEAC consists of seven members and a secretary, each appointed by the CEC. Two members are proposed by “the main party of the parliamentary majority”; two members are proposed by “the main party of the parliamentary opposition”; one member is proposed by “the second party of the parliamentary majority”; and one member is proposed by “the second party of the parliamentary opposition”.[22] Should this appointment process fail to achieve a “political balance”, then Article 29(1) provides that “the respective group is compensated with the candidacies of the main party until a political balance between the majority and opposition has been reached”.
