Count-down to election day

Dissolution of Parliament – August 29, 2014

Before the elections can take place, Parliament has to be dissolved.  The 10th Parliament was officially dissolved on August 29, 2014 - meaning that your constituency representative at the end of that day was now a former Member of Parliament. However, the President and his Cabinet ministers will continue to hold their offices until October 23, when they will cease to be. On that very moment, the Chief Justice takes charge until a new president, of the party that wins 29 seats or more, is sworn into office.
