Members, your attention is drawn to Section 47A(b) of the Constitution which states inter alia :- âNo alteration can be made to the Draft Constitution tabled unless such alternation is supported by the votes of not less than 65 per cent of all the Members of the National Assembly (excluding Ex-Officio Members)â. Consequently, whenever there is a proposed amendment to the Draft Constitution framed as a foresaid, the House must proceed on a Division. However, the House shall not proceed to a Division unless and until it has requisite numbers; this is 145 Members pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.68 (1). Any amendment which fails to obtain the requisite numbers shall be deemed to be negatived. While considering the amendments, the Chair will take into account the chronological order of the Articles in the Draft Constitution. Hon. Members, your attention is drawn to the provisions of Standing Order No.55 (2) which states that:- âNo amendment shall be permitted if in the opinion of the Speaker, it represents a direct negative of the question proposedâ"
