The text as it stands rather favours the election of ‘another member’ and not the member who has ceased to be the Deputy Chairman. According to article 74, a Deputy Chairman shall vacate his office if he ceases to be a member or he may resign. When an election of a Deputy Chairman takes place he would be debarred from contesting for no fault of his. I submit that for the words ‘another member’ the words ‘a member’ be substituted, leaving it open to the outgoing Deputy Chairman to contest the seat if he has meanwhile been re-elected.
