Death, etc. of President-elect before oath of office

Section 136(1) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(1) If a person duly elected as President dies before taking and subscribing the Oath of Allegiance and oath of office, or is for any reason whatsoever unable to be sworn in, the person elected with him as Vice-President shall be sworn in as President and he shall nominate a new Vice-President who shall be appointed by the President with the approval by a simple majority of the National Assembly at a joint sitting.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
