of more than one constituency.

(2) A person who wishes to be nominated as a candidate in the same election
for a constituency other than the constituency for which he has
for the time being submitted a nomination paper ("first constituency"), shall,
before he submits a nomination paper for that other constituency, withdraw his
candidature for the first constituency, in accordance with section 10, and
