    "content": "The Electoral Commission, in arranging these matters, is obliged by the Constitution to consult with political parties because the principle of participation is entrenched in our Constitution. I plead with hon. Members to let this clause pass so that we shall not have lost completely the principle of not more than two-thirds of any gender; so that the dialogue can continue through the Electoral Commission. Let us have this understanding that we are opening the way for both men and women of this country to be able to participate in the elective processes. We are pleading for understanding, and we are asking for a partnership between the fathers, sons, husbands and friends who are in this House and the women of this country who are your mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. We are seeking a meaningful partnership that will open way for your daughters. Do not see those of us who are already in Parliament. We may not require this support but think of your daughter. Do not close the door for your own daughter or grandchild. We are seeking your partnership and co-operation."
