    "content": "The second thing is that I would like to congratulate the members of the Society who were recently elected. One of the reasons I am supporting this particular Bill is because the elections of the LSK have been engrained in Clause 20 of the Bill, which makes the elections to be conducted by the IEBC, which is a better improvement from the earlier days where ballots would be posted and things like those. If we are talking about credible elections of the LSK it is because, I think for the first time, IEBC had to conduct these elections. I read the context of Section 20 of the Bill. It reads that elections shall be supervised by the IEBC or such other body that the Council may determine. But I really think that towards that extent, during the Third Reading of this particular Bill, we should maintain it as IEBC or the election body that will be mandated by the Constitution. This is because you might have from time to time people moving goal posts and determining other bodies. I think that will bring down the quality of the conduct of elections."
