Mr. Kevu said that the Commission has now fourteen confirmed nominations - five candidates for the Auki Langa Langa constituency and nine for East Malaita.
Mr. Kevu said that he is not yet in a position to give out the names of the candidates since the withdrawal date is not yet over.
Mr. Kevu said Government has two returning officers working in Auki; they are Filiaramo Ganita and Michael Lauman who were appointed by the Commission on the 14th February.
The by-elections became necessary following the deaths of former MPs Bartholomew Ulufa'alu for Aoke/Langa Langa and the late Joses Sanga for East Malaita.
Kevu said that once these two by-elections are done they will concentrate on the Lau Mbaelelea constituency.
