â€œWe as a commission will continue to be an equal opportunities commission, making sure that no one is left behind.

â€œCelebrating election is our main objective, gender mainstreaming and persons with disabilities access and participation.

â€œWe play our own part to sensitise, but will leave the mobilisation of voters to National orientation Agency (NOA) and others involved,â€™â€™ he said.

According to him, women have the highest number in terms of voting, therefore urged women to exercise their rights and vote.
