Paragraph 28
 

In the political agreement, the signatories furthermore committed to ensuring that one of the partisan members of the CEC representing an opposition party is deputy chairperson. This has been achieved by revising draft Article 11 of the Election Code accordingly. At the same time, it is not clear why the position of a second deputy chairperson elected by Parliament out of the CEC members has been introduced. This amendment might weaken the position of the deputy chairperson representing an opposition party and should be reconsidered.
