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 Mayor, 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 Mayor. If the Mayor, during his or her term, becomes a member of a state or county central committee, he or she shall cease to be qualified to serve as Mayor and shall forthwith forfeit such office.
