On the allegation of overvoting, the tribunal held that the petitioner merely made the allegation without an attempt to prove same, adding that the burden of proof was on the petitioner and he couldn’t by law shift same to the respondent.
While citing relevant provisions of the Electoral Act, the tribunal judge held that the law did not make electronic transmission of election results mandatory. The judge said the petitioner could not prove that results announced at the Local Government collation centres were different from those announced at the polling units.Kindly share this story:
