    "content": "does not trust his or her political party, then the candidate may run as an independent candidate. It makes no sense of the nomination to have 10 candidates running for a ticket of a particular party and after nine lose the nomination, they all face the same candidate who defeated them under the disguise of other different parties. So, what is the point of having other political party nominations if they are not binding on the candidates? That is the mischief that we have tried to cure. We are requesting the Members of both Houses to support this provision because under democracy there is need to have constitutionally strong parties. If this country is to move forward, this has to be implemented now. As per the Constitution, regional or religious parties have been made illegal. So, we would be very happy for CORD or ODM to have candidates in all the counties in this country; just like Jubilee should have candidates also across the country and maybe one or two other parties; so that we do not have 80 political parties throwing confusion in the political scene. Therefore, this provision is targeting the political acrobats. I urge Members to support the report and not to amend any comma or full stop. Mr. Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to support."
