Should the P-elect use the Airforce 1 or not? What does the Assumption of Power Act say?
This is very interesting...what does it say? Where are our legal members who can copy paste here for us laymen??
My lay man interpretation:
The katiba is silent on how the P-elect should be 'handled' between IEBC declaration and swearing in. The closest I could get is:
Assumption of office of President.
141.
(4) Parliament shall by legislation provide for the procedure and ceremony for the swearing-in of a President-elect.
On the Acts of Parliament though, I found this:
PART II β ESTABLISHMENT OF ASSUMPTION OF THE OFFICE OF
PRESIDENT COMMITTEE
5. Establishment of the Assumption of the Office of President Committee
(1) There is established a committee to be known as the Assumption of the
Office of President Committee.

(b) organise for the
security of the President-elect;

officers;
PART III β ARRANGEMENTS FOR ASSUMPTION OF OFFICE BY THE
