Jubilee MPs pass electoral laws in chaotic special sitting

Opposition Cord MPs yesterday walked out of Parliament en-mass after their Jubilee counterparts got them into physical fights in a chaotic session that ended after the ruling coalition single-handedly passed the controversial election laws.

The controversial amendments, which among other things allow the electoral commission to conduct manual voter identification and results transmission in the August 2017 General Election, were passed in record time under the leadership of deputy Speaker Joyce Laboso.
