I propose the two Joint Government Whips to act as counting agents for all the candidates. The votes having been counted and the results of the election ascertained, the Clerk, in accordance with provisions of Rule 17(a), will report to the National Assembly the results of the election together with the number of votes recorded for each candidate under the cluster of each party. The House will resume at 12.45 p.m. The bell will be rung for eight minutes as in a Division before the resumption of the proceedings. Upon the resumption of the House, the Returning Officer will announce the results of the election in the assembled House and thereafter the Speaker, pursuant to Rule 17(b), announces to the National Assembly results of the election in respect of all candidates and thereafter the House adjourns. Hon. Members should note that during this exercise the House is fully constituted and all the Rules of Procedures are applicable and will be enforced by the Speaker. In addition, the Rules give Mr. Speaker residual powers for matters specifically not provided for in Rule 23, which inter alia states that:- “If any matter arises which is not specifically provided for in these Rules, the Speaker shall make a ruling directing what is to be done and in making such a ruling, the Speaker shall be guided by the practice and procedure normally followed in similar situations with regard to the conduct of elections in the National Assembly"
