    "content": "The other bit I did mention is that the Bill has mandated the Commission to ensure the establishment of a complimentary mechanism for transmission of results. I am reliably informed that the regulations are currently being worked on and should be in the House for consideration within time, certainly before the House breaks. This is the crux of the matter. I know there is also an issue that Members have raised on some amendment to Section 27(16) of the Act, which is basically looking at closing some window. I just want to highlight that currently, independent candidates as per the Constitution are required to be out of parties 90 days before the elections. For people sponsored by parties, their registers are given 120 days before, and then you have nominations for this particular year, and the schedule is that they should have been cleared by 22nd. So, between 22nd April when the results of the political parties’ candidates are finalised and 9th May, there is an open window of 14 days when people could as well move from political parties to be independent."
