Ruling People's National Congress (PNC) Parliamentary Group Leader Ibrahim Falah told Mihaaru News that these sittings are being held to appoint members to independent commissions before the 60 day deadline stipulated in law is reached.
Hence, the extraordinary sittings are scheduled for January 16 and 20, Falah said.
In these sittings, members will be appointed to the Elections Commission (EC) and Maldives Broadcasting Commission (BroadCom).
The Committee on Independent Institutions has already carried out interviews with applicants to the posts.
