The third and the last situation that would lead to cancellation of the elections is when a candidate who would have been entitled to be declared elected as President dies before being declared elected as President. Once the already planned presidential election is cancelled due to one or more of the three circumstances, a new presidential election shall be held within 60 days after the date set for the previous presidential election, so states the Constitution. A fresh presidential election shall be conducted within 60 days after the second death. If the Deputy President-elect dies before assuming office, the office of the Deputy President shall be declared vacant on the assumption of office by the person declared elected as the President. In that case that candidate shall be declared elected.
