Birth of 20 new constituencies?

Once complete, the exercise is likely to give birth to between 20 and 25 new constituencies if the quota is to stay at the same figure as in 2002 (25,000) when it was last decided. 

The 2002 Delimitation Commission, which was chaired by the present Chief Justice, Maruping Dibotelo, produced 17 new constituencies in addition to 40 that existed then. It was initially thought there would be 65 constituencies but other factors brought this down to 57.
