Membership on the state or county central committee of any political party or organization is declared to be a public office incompatible with the position of member of Council, such active partisan activity being deemed detrimental to the promotion, protection and preservation of the nonpartisan form of government established by the Charter. No person who is a member of such a state or county central committee shall be qualified to be elected a member of Council, and any member of Council who, during their term, becomes a member of a state or county central committee shall cease to be qualified to serve as a member of Council and shall forthwith forfeit such office.
