    "content": "Hon. Members, with respect to numbers and this argument was carried by Mr. Lessonet and to some extent by Mr. Duale and Dr. Khalwale, that we ought to have seen more nominees than in one case. One, in the case of KANU and that the argument by Mr. Lessonet is that if there were, for example, 65 candidates applying on the ODM slot, then we should have had more than the number that is here. But as it is, Rule No.6 which has been cited very ably by the Chief Whip is clear. It says that a party shall be entitled to nominate for elections under rules any number of candidates not exceeding three times the figure arrived at. So the figure arrived at in the case of ODM as far as I know was five. So you multiply by three and you get 15. It says the number shall not exceed three times. So if the ODM has nominated nine, they fall within the rule. I do not see any breach there and certainly it would be, in fact, a breach of the rules if the ODM nominated 65 candidates. So, Mr. Lessonet, your argument is actually misplaced; it is lost."
