61.This section deals with the procedures to be followed in the event that the Justice Minister position becomes vacant. The new paragraph 3E means that if a new Justice Minister is appointed and the effect is to create a change in the total number of Ministerial offices held by members of a political party, then all Ministers will cease to hold office, and the d’Hondt procedure will be re-run again after a new Justice Minister has been appointed. This is to ensure that any potential anomaly in the number of Ministerial offices held by a political party is avoided.
