constitution and in subsequent years at the first meeting of the Regional
Council after the Annual General Meeting of the Regional Constituency, shall
elect from amongst its members a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, a Secretary and a
Treasurer thereof, and so often as any of these offices become vacant, the
Regional Council shall choose another person from among its members to hold
that office. The said office bearers shall hold office until the first meeting
of the Regional Council after the Annual General meeting of the Regional
Constituency:
PROVIDED that the retiring office-bearers shall be
eligible for re-election to any of the offices of the Regional Council if they
continue to be members of the Regional Council.
(2) The first meeting of the Regional Council referred to in

its constitution or from the date of the Annual General Meeting of the Regional
Constituency, as the case may be.
If within half an hour from the time appointed for the said
first meeting of the Regional Council referred to hereinbefore, a quorum as mentioned
in Regulation 75 is not present, the said first meeting shall, notwithstanding
anything contained in that Regulation, stand adjourned to the same day in the
next week at the same time and place and at such adjourned meeting of the
Regional Council, the members present, whatever their number, shall form the
quorum and shall have power to transact all the business, which could properly
have been transacted by the original meeting had the necessary quorum been
present.
