    "content": "Rule 6(1) of the EALA Act states that member States’ political parties get slots based on their respective political strengths in the House. In this case, the Jubilee Coalition’s slot is five and the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is four. Based on parliamentary strength, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) will have three slots and the Wiper Democratic Movement will have one slot. Rule 6(1) of the EALA Act does not talk about the maximum number of nominees, but it says if you are given four slots, you must bring more than the four. You can bring five, six, seven up to 12 nominees. Jubilee Coalition has submitted 15 names. Out of the 15 names, we have looked into the issue of gender parity and regional balance. Our members will have an opportunity to choose five nominees from the 15."
