The tenures of five of the commissions, excluding the Constitutional Reform Commission, have been extended until January 15. However, the Constitutional Reform Commission's tenure has been extended until January 31, added the notification.
The Constitutional Reform Commission was formed on October 6, while the other five commissions were established on October 3, with a 90-day deadline to submit their reports.
