Presidential poll losers to sit in ‘Bunge’ if Bill passes

Presidential candidates who lose elections may have a reprieve of sitting in Parliament if a proposed law goes through in the National Assembly.

Unlike in the current situation where those who lose are condemned to political oblivion at least for the next five years, a Bill which seeks to amend Article 90 of the Constitution now grants them a lifeline and a soft landing of at least finding their way to the Senate, National Assembly or even the County Assembly.
