Senators, Standing Order No.7 (1) provides that a person shall not be elected unless the person is supported in a ballot by the votes of two-thirds of all the Senators, that is, unless supported by the votes of 45 Senators. Hon. Senators, it is apparent from this result that none of the candidates has met the threshold of 45 votes provided for under Standing Order No.7. Standing Order No.7(2) requires that if no candidate is supported by the votes of two-thirds of all the Senators as has happened, a fresh election shall be held and in that election, the only candidates shall be:- (a) The candidate or candidates who receive the highest number of votes in the ballot referred to in paragraph 1 (b) The candidate or candidates who in that ballot received the next highest number of votes. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.7 (2), we will therefore proceed to a fresh election. In that fresh election, the only candidates shall be as follows:- 1. Ethuro David Ekwee 2. Maalim Farah We will conduct the ballot in the same manner that we did the first time around. Therefore, I will ask the Serjeant-at-Arms to display the ballot box, empty and unlocked."
