If you are worried that you might confuse colours and logos when voting on May 8, don’t worry - the IEC has explained how it has separated parties that look too similar.

The party drawing the smallest number would drop to the end of the sequence of political parties starting with the letter “A” on the ballot paper.

During the draw, the AIC drew the highest number and therefore retained its alphabetical position on the ballot paper .
