representative mandate

Professional associations sent delegates to the General People's Congress, where they have a representative mandate.

Section 7 of the Advocates Act, 1961 lays down the Bar Council's regulatory and representative mandate.

A judge shall not refer to political parties and trade unions, as well as participate in any political activity, have representative mandate, occupy any other paid posts, or do any other paid work except that which is scientific in nature, teaching or creative value.

A deputy may not possess any other representative mandates, be appointed to the state service, be placed in other salaried positions, participate in other paid or entrepreneurial activity (except for teaching, scientific or artistic), be a member of a governing body or a supervisory council of a company or organization that are for profit.
