Regarding the target deadline, he said, "Since we must complete discussions by April 10, the deadline for constituency delineation, including the full committee meeting as pledged by the Speaker of the National Assembly, we intend to organize internal party discussions by then."

However, the attendance rate was low, with only about 30 members participating, representing a portion of the entire Democratic Party lawmakers.
