Insight: References to Office Holders

This provision ensures flexibility in governance by clarifying that when the Constitution mentions an official position (like "President" or "Minister"), it automatically includes anyone who is temporarily or legally performing that role in an acting capacity. This prevents constitutional gaps during transitions, illnesses, or vacancies in important offices.
