"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is fair. As he considers those changes, I would like him to also consider one aspect of part (e) because I realise that the compliance of a candidate will have an effect on the political party – whether the candidate becomes disqualified or not, there are some consequences for the political party. It would be prudent for the political party to have the information instead of the candidate reporting directly to the Commission. So, I suggest that, as he works on it, he retains the provision for reporting by the candidate to the political party and to the Commission, so that in case of any issue, the political party does not feign ignorance. In the last election, we had many instances where, due to wrong information from candidates, we were not able to field candidates in certain constituencies. Candidates who had come to us previously had given us false information. So, we must compel the candidates to give information to the party and to the Commission. Thank you."
