    "content": "I understand this excitement because it was a fierce battle! So, if you win, you have to shout. The amendment I am proposing here is on Subsection 3 of Clause 24, where there are exemptions to Subsection 2; that if you are a President and you want to vie for the Office of the President, it is not a must that you vacate the Office of the President for you to vie for that office. This also applies to a Deputy President or a Member of Parliament who is serving. In trying to add the position of a Governor; supposing someone was a Governor and the term expired upon the election of a new Governor, the Governor would want to run for the seat of the President? I do not see the reason why public officers who are exempted from running for the position of President, Deputy President and Member of Parliament should only be the President, the Deputy President and should not apply to Governor and Deputy Governor. I am proposing that we add the County Governor, the County Deputy Governor and Member of the County Assembly so that if they wish to vie for the Office of the President, they retain their seats until they are elected. Then they can resign. If they are not elected, they can continue to serve in their various positions."
