    "content": "The Elections Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.3 of 2022) basically looks to tidy up some definitions and changes in terminology that run throughout. For example, instead of the nomination that we take our nomination papers to the IEBC before elections, we are now looking at registration of a candidate. The vogue term now doing rounds in most countries at the party level is normally party primaries. Probably at the opportune time in the Committee of the whole House, instead of definition of nomination given in Clause 2 of the Bill, we could look at party primaries and expand that definition so that we put in place what we talked about in the Political Parties Bill so that we synchronise everything."
