5. The paragraph 6 of the article II shall be replaced by "A party can renounce to their position of representative; two or more parties can also associate to hold a party position together provided that their cumulated citizen membership (a citizen member of two different parties at the same time does not count twice) is higher than 3 and that they reach agreement on a representative."

Unless the President was a formerly removed Governor, the President shall act as an Interim Governor during these elections, but cannot organise these elections."
