    "content": "The need for this IEBC (Amendment) Bill arises from the very nature of the 2011 Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. That Bill, as the Chairman has said, was made in reference to the political situation at that time, which gave the President and the Prime Minister powers to appoint. That is the arrangement which was in the 11th Parliament. That no longer holds. As we are running close to the elections, it is very important that we fill these gaps that are clearly in the law. If today a vacancy were to arise in the IEBC and the mode of appointment in existence, as a country, we will not move forward."
