    "content": "In trying to improve this situation, Sen. Olekina will be encouraged to look at the totality of the structure of elections, right from the time candidates present their papers. We have seen the embarrassing decision in the Supreme Court, where everybody can tell that a Governor is not a university graduate, but he is given a new lease of life. We need to have a situation where elections in this country are not just about the electoral commission, the candidate or the voter; but even the judicial system is now part of our electoral system, because that is where we end up squaring it out. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let us not limit rights. I support the need to improve our electoral system and have a mechanism of limiting electoral disputes, particularly though the judicial system. However, we should not take away the aggrieved candidate‘s right to protest, complain and access justice. I beg to conditionally support this Bill on the basis that we will relook and recast many of the clauses that I have spoken to."
