GENDER FORMULA TO ENSURE 1/3 GENDER RULE IS ACHIEVED

A. When less than 97 members of either gender is elected in all 290 Constituencies, the formula in B below will apply to compute the number of top-up seats:

B. Y= (X *3/2) -290 

Where:

1. Y – Total seats reserved for gender wining minority seats.
2. X – Total seats won by gender winning majority seats.
3. 290 is the total number of constituencies
4. The top-up seats for gender Y will be computed as shown in C below.
5. Z- Is the  total number of to- up seats.
6.  Z= Y – (minus) seats won electively by gender Y and then round off Z to the nearest whole number.
   

C.THE TOTAL TOP-UP SEATS (Z), TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FOLLOWS:

IEBC to rank gender Y candidates’ performance in a general election leaving out outright winning candidates, as follows:

1.  Votes earned as a percentage of votes cast
2.  List all gender Y candidates’ performance in descending order of percentages earned.
3. Allocate the Z seats in descending order till the seats are fully allotted.

D.  Retain nominations for other SIGs, and ensure seats are shared 50:50 to each gender.
