I tried to explain that in my opinion someone who was elected for two years and didn't explain his electors in front of his election that he wouldn't serve for two years, but only for one or a bit more years, creates an issue with his former electors. He needs to explain, why he'll not serve the whole period and /or if there is an emergency to apply for another body.
