Qatar has set up a oversight body for the first legislative elections
The commission will oversee the two-thirds elections of the 45-seat Shura Council, which advises the Qatari authority.
Qatar has set up a commission to oversee the first legislative elections in October, the Interior Ministry said on Sunday.
The election will consist of two-thirds or 30 members of the 45-seat Shura Council advisers. Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani will appoint 15 members, more than the full council as it is today.
Interior Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa Al Thani, who is in charge of the interior ministry, has ordered the formation of an oversight committee to be chaired by Interior Ministry officials on Twitter.
