2. Consensus-Based Electoral Framework
There was mutual agreement to establish a direct electoral system built on consensus, laying the foundation for credible and democratic elections.
3. Engagement with Absent Political Figures
It was agreed that efforts should be made to reach out to key political figures who are not currently participating in the dialogue, to ensure their inclusion and broaden national consensus.
4. Follow-Up Meeting Scheduled
The parties committed to reconvening in July 2025 to continue discussions and finalize agreements that will shape the political roadmap of the country.
