    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the Leader of the Majority Party on this particular proposed amendment to delete Clause 25. The essence of my amendment is that I looked at the mandate of the Registrar being proposed by that particular Clause and I found that, like the Leader of the Majority Party has said, it was encroaching on the mandate of the IEBC yet management of elections is purely a mandate of the IEBC, which is an independent body. Therefore, we cannot purport to share out that mandate with another office through legislation. The IEBC is not only an independent body; its mandate is constitutional. Therefore, we cannot purport to give the Registrar, through legislation, a mandate in respect of managing nominations. Nominations are part of the elections. Therefore, I concur with the Leader of the Majority Party. Once his amendment goes through, mine falls automatically."
