Line 58:

The Council of State can by a majority vote of a quorate sitting declare the Queen temporarily incapacitated and appoint a Regent to assume her roles and duties until she returns and her temporary incapacity is concluded. This happens if the Queen goes missing or gets an illness that she needs to convalesce. However, the Queen can appoint a Regent of her own will if she intends to temporarily rest or intends to be away.

Since 1721, the Council of Electors has always chosen a member of the House of Mujaji. Usually the Council of Electors elects the eldest daughter of the Queen and in the absence of daughters, it elects her closest female relative such as her younger sister or her oldest first cousin. There are rare cases where the Council of Electors has chosen a younger daughter to ascend the throne. This happened for example in 1912 when Queen Makadzi I who was the second daughter of Queen Umbira II, was elected instead of Waditya nga Umbira II her elder sister because Waditya was married to a foreigner and joined his religion and was not eligible to be elected Queen, and in 1978 when Alisha nga Mujaji III declined the nomination to retain a civilian life and thus her younger sister Makadzi II was elected instead.cases where the eldest daughter
