"content": " Hon. Members, the procedure of electing the Deputy Speaker is similar to the one for the Speaker. At closure of business on 26th March, 2013, at 9.00 a.m. three candidates were validly nominated. That is hon. Abdikadir Aden, MP, hon. Dr. Joyce Laboso, MP and hon. Dr. Kitonga Maanzo, MP. However, I have since received a letter from hon. Daniel Kitonga Maanzo, MP, withdrawing from the race. Therefore, the election of the Deputy Speaker will be between hon. Abdikadir, MP and hon. (Dr.) Laboso, MP. We were not able to cancel the ballot papers because the notice was a bit short, but we advise that when you come to do the elections, then you do not tick on Daniel Kitonga Maanzo. If you tick, then we shall take it as a spoilt ballot. So, please, be guided. The election of the Deputy Speaker will also be by secret ballot. It is just like we did for the Speaker. We shall use the same list to invite hon. Members to cast their ballots. So that we do not waste a lot of time, I want to invite the clerks to display the ballot box and begin the process of electing the Deputy Speaker."
