such number of that category as is required to eliminate the excess must cease to hold office in accordance with sub-paragraphs (2) and (3).

(3) Where governors have held office for an equal length of time, the selection of those who must cease to hold office must be done by drawing lots.
(4) For the purposes of this paragraph, sponsor governors nominated by a particular category of person are treated as if they constituted a separate category of governor.
