Can a person who has been disqualified under this Schedule continue to hold their current office until their disqualification is resolved?
No, a person who has been disqualified under this Schedule cannot continue to hold their current office until their disqualification is resolved. As per the context provided in paragraph 5, a person elected to specific positions (such as Speaker or Deputy Speaker of certain Houses) will not be disqualified if they give up their membership of the political party they belonged to immediately before their election, and do not rejoin that political party or become a member of another political party while holding that office. However, this exemption only applies to those who have been elected to these specific positions and does not generally apply to other disqualification scenarios.
