    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish the Chairman of the Oversight Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution would be attentive to this. The essence of the list being proposed is to contain not just enough names for that election, but even any vacancies being created. If you look at the Constitution, it shows that any replacement of people in a party list will go by the next on the list. So, if you have a situation where you propose 16 names and you win all the seats and the 16 are named and then there is a subsequent vacancy, where will the Electoral Commission, in accordance with the Constitution, then draw the second name? The essence of this was to provide for parties to give more people than are required. The top 16 will be picked and the others will be available for “by-elections” of the nominated seats. The Constitution says that the names will be picked from the list that was submitted earlier for the entire period."
