has not been validly nominated as a candidate at the ensuing general election; or
although so nominated, has not been elected a Member of Parliament at that election,
that member shall resign from the Commission forthwith; but nothing in sub-paragraph (2) above or this sub-paragraph shall be taken as preventing any such member from resigning otherwise than in pursuance of this sub-paragraph.
