So, once you are able to prove your case in the petition, the onus of proof should be shifted to the acclaimed winner,\u201d Kudla said.<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of immunity, Kudla said it should be removed in all political offices adding that their movement is also working on how the constitution and the electoral act would be amended to ensure that only the number of people that voted for a lawmaker is required for a recall process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are recalling a member, it should be a similar percentage that voted for the person. A simple majority that elected the member should be enough for the recall of the member,\u201d Kudla said while disclosing areas they will be pushing for amendment in the electoral act and the
