    "content": "I rise to support this particular initiative, even though we are saying that we should amalgamate all of them. First and foremost, August is not a very good month because it is at the point when the financial year of the Government has ended. Therefore, so many factors may not have been factored in the financial year. We cannot project the outcome of an election. We cannot tell exactly what we need to plan for before the election is done. On the other hand, if we look at the last election last year, we had many issues that affected the election process and systems and procedures in this country, especially the education system. We had a problem with examinations. There was so much tension with students because they did not know whether they would sit for their exams in time or not. The need for assurance had to be there. There is need for us to anticipate that anything can happen after an election. Therefore, it is good for us to hold the General Elections in December. I propose that it comes in early December, so that it coincides with the onset of the festive season. I believe that if we do it at that time, people will be ready to vote and the campaigns will be done in a better environment.
