    "content": "Pursuant to the provisions of Rule 19, when the votes have been counted and the results of the election ascertained you can expect two things- (a) At the end of counting of the votes, the Clerk of the Senate who is the presiding officer shall record the results of the tally and report to the Senate the results of the election together with the number of votes recorded for each candidate under the respective clusters at the end of the election exercise; (b) The Speaker of the Senate, as the returning officer, shall announce the results of the Senate elections to the Senate and send a Message to the National Assembly, communicating the Senate election results which the Speaker of the National Assembly, as the National Assembly returning officer, will announce to the Assembly. The presiding officer of the National Assembly will likewise also report the results of the National Assembly elections to the National Assembly and the Speaker of the National Assembly will send a Message to the Senate communicating the National Assembly election results. In other words, hon. Senators, as you are aware, there are two polling stations; one is the Senate and the other is the National Assembly. The elections will continue concurrently. The presiding officers of both polling stations will communicate in our normal way the results in each polling station and they will be announced in the receiving polling stations. In short, the voting must go on concurrently. Therefore, if the Senate finishes earlier, we might have to continue with other items in the Order Paper as we await the process in the National Assembly to be completed because we have more voters in that polling station than we have in our polling station."
