    "content": "THAT, Clause 14(a) of the Bill be amended by inserting the words “or is nominated to an office” immediately after the words “elective office” appearing in the proposed new subsection (2). My amendment - and I want to speak to the other Members who seem to oppose everything that is coming from whichever side of the House... If indeed it is a matter of semantics, then it is not substantive and, therefore, there is actually no harm in passing the amendment to have clarity because as it is now, and let me read the original one, a member of a deregistered political party holding an elective office established by the Constitution at the time of political party’s deregistration shall continue to hold office for the remainder of the elective term as a member of another political party or independent of any political party. I just want to reinforce the earlier amendment because it is similar. What we are seeking to do is to have clarity in the law that other Members who are not as lucky to be elected through universal suffrage are also protected by the law by having Clause 14(a) of the Bill amended by inserting the words, or is nominated to an office immediately after the word elective office."
