In the event of the seat of President becoming vacant for any reason whatsoever, the duties of President shall be temporarily performed by a Vice-President, in the order of appointment and, failing that, by a Territorial Councillor designated by the Council. The Executive Council shall be renewed, within a period of one month, in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article LO 6322-6, and without the provisions of Article LO 6321-22 find application to the meeting of the territorial council convened for that purpose.
However, before such renewal, such elections shall be held as may be necessary to complete the territorial council.
If, after the supplementary elections, new vacancies occur, the territorial council shall nevertheless proceed to the election of the executive council.
In the event of the resignation of the President and all the Vice-Presidents, the Territorial Council shall be convened by the oldest member, either to proceed with the appointment of the Territorial Councillor provided for in the first paragraph, or to proceed with the renewal of the Executive Council.
