    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, this amendment makes it possible for an independent candidate to be nominated by all the systems of the Republic who are willing to support that independent candidate. Yesterday, there were arguments about whether the independent candidate should be nominated by the members of a party or as provided here, should not be nominated. I want to refer hon. Members to Article 38 of the Constitution which addresses political rights. It states:- “(1) Every citizen is free to make political choices, which include the right- (a) to form, or participate in forming, a political party; (b) to participate in the activities of, or recruit members for, a political party; or (c) to campaign for a political party or cause. (2) Every citizen has the right to free, fair and regular elections based on universal suffrage and the free expression of the will of the electors for- (3) Every adult citizen has the right, without unreasonable restrictions- to do all those."
