    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, the most important thing here is that we are not saying that the independent candidate is to be supported by members of the party only. We want to give the possibility that political parties or members of a particular party can actually decide to elect or nominate a particular independent candidate. These are the reasons; when you go to vote, even a registered member of a political party can exercise his or her democratic right and vote for a candidate who is not from his or her party. So, why do we want to restrict that if for some reason the citizens of the Republic decide that even an independent candidate is better than their own candidate? That choice should be granted to them. That is what the Constitution anticipates."
