Duale, sensing defeat, said there is a need for more consultations ‘because this is not a normal bill’.

MPs opposing the bill schemed and denied the house quorum by being absent.

The bill required at least 233 MPs in order for a vote to go through.

The Leader of Majority said he needs more time to lobby.

He withdrew it and asked for up to February 2019 when he will re-introduce the bill.
