Paragraph 68
 

Article 111 creates an incompatibility between holding a mandate of a Member of Parliament and being nominated as a candidate for membership of Sakrebulo. This restriction is excessive. While it is widely accepted that restrictions against cumulating mandates can oblige the holder of two mandates to surrender one, after he/she is elected, such a restriction should not be applied to candidacies. It is recommended this provision is amended accordingly.
