Later, the commission sent a set of recommendations in a spreadsheet format to 38 political parties asking them to send their specific opinions on the important reform recommendations by March 13.
With this party, a total of 32 political parties submitted their respective opinions to the Consensus Commission.
The National Consensus Commission began formal dialogue on March 20 to finalize the recommendations made by the reform commissions.
