"content": "Pursuant to Standing Order No.7 which deals with the election threshold- “A person shall not be elected as Speaker unless he or she is supported in a ballot by the votes of two-thirds of all the Senators” All the Senators for that purpose are 67. Two-thirds of 67 is 45. If no candidate is supported by the vote of two-thirds of all the Senators, a fresh election shall be held. This is not the case. Therefore, Amason Jeffah Kingi having received 46 votes, which is the highest number of votes and having met the threshold of two-thirds, is duly declared to be elected as Speaker of the Senate."
