"content": "Office of the Registrar of Political Parties exists for the future of our country so that there is proper democracy in this country. On presidential election petitions, I know it has been proposed that they be disposed of within 21 days. We must learn from the USA elections of 2020. We saw President Donald Trump disputing the election results, and despite the uprising that was there, he exhausted all the recourse avenues. He went to court and his petition took time. We need more than 21 days. We need 30-45 days so that our Supreme Court can thoroughly go through the petitions and ensure that the decision it takes is acceptable to all parties. Last year, we had an issue. Whether we like it or not, we must have a referendum because we are changing the functions of Parliament. Finally, we still consider this Report incomplete because it failed to consider the cost of living. However, the natural cost of things is now taking effect, and you are seeing it as it is out there. With those remarks, I support the Report."
