What is the term of office for elected members of the Municipal Councils in the Governorates of Oman?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Four years
- Step 1: Municipal Councils in each of the 11 governorates are elected by direct public ballot for a four-year term.
- Step 2: They advise the Governors on community infrastructure, roads, public health, zoning, and local economic development.
Answer
Four years.
Why not the others: 'Two years' is too short for municipal terms; 'Six years' applies to senatorial terms in some nations; 'Five years' is standard for national economic development plans.
