"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wanted to raise an issue. One can be elected unopposed. We can go through an election process where you have one presidential candidate, we vote and he is elected as the President of the Republic of Kenya. In equal measure, the same can apply for Members of Parliament and what we are now discussing. It is not mandatory. When doing elections, we can have one candidate who will be elected unopposed. This happens everywhere. I am sure Hon. Duale is expecting that to happen to him, that he will be elected unopposed. We should not forget that at any one time. There is that rule where we can have somebody unopposed. There is nothing wrong for a party to bring one person. That is a mandate and that person will be elected unopposed."
