    "content": "With respect to the fine argument by Dr. Khalwale, the KANU candidate as nominated on the list falls under the ambit of PNU because KANU is for purposes of this Parliament treated as an affiliate of the PNU divide. So KANU had a right to claim against PNU to ask for its right and then KANU is given its right by being allowed to nominate one from among four. They undergo a nomination process which the Speaker is a stranger but which, as I see, complies with Rule No.6 because they are supposed to nominate up to three times the entitlement. So if they nominate one and you interpret this English; up to and not exceeding, one is not exceeding; it falls within the proviso, I am afraid. It would be up to the House then to elect or not elect that nominee. The process of election, I have agonized over it because the rules do not say how many hon. Members will have to be in the House to elect. The quorum of the House is 30 and so if we have 30 hon. Members in the House when the election is called tomorrow, the election can proceed. If this Member does not garner more than 50 per cent of the votes of those hon. Members present and voting, then she will not have been elected. That is the verifying process. Simple! I understand it and as far as I am concerned, it is straightforward."
