My only reservation is that this Bill should also have addressed party elections. The Bill avoids the issue of party elections and only refers to national elections. These offences should be as applicable in the national elections as they should be in party elections. Only then would we actually have completely addressed the issue of electoral offences as they happen at both party and national elections. Perhaps Sen. Wako and others who were looking at this issue can tell us why they left out party elections in this process and only referred to the national elections of Parliament and others. This is very important given the fact that party hopping is no longer there and in some areas, party elections will constitute whether you have been elected or not. So, how can we protect people who have already stolen an election at the party level and tell them that now they are law abiding citizens when they come with dirty hands? So, there is a lacuna there. Something is missing. Let the law be applicable also to party elections."
