    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose the amendment because we have raised the threshold of recall to a half of the registered voters. If we then allow a person recalled through such a rigorous means to run for elections, we are actually negating the right of recall. It would have been better if we allowed the recall to be 30 per cent and then you allow the person to contest. I urge hon. Members to also consider the feelings of the voters. If 50 per cent of the voters concur that you be recalled, I think in a just and democratic society, it is justifiable that such a person be prevented from running."
