    "content": "As it has been said by the Mover and Seconder, this Bill is supposed to provide the procedures on how to assume office once a governor is elected. We must realise at any point when we conduct elections, there will be the sitting governor and the governor who will be elected. There are cases where the sitting governor will win this sit and continue with his second term. There are also cases where the sitting governor will lose and a new person will come in. The importance of this Bill is to manage the two scenarios like where a sitting governor loses an election and we have a new one who is coming. If we do not have a clear legal framework, the sitting governor who has lost an election can make life very difficult for the one who has been elected and settling of the new governor would be a big issue. That is the importance of this Bill."
