Case summary

The court considered whether the trial judge had failed to properly evaluate the evidence in deciding the 1 st appellant’s qualification Court held that the appellant was not a registered voter and was therefore ineligible to contest for elections. Court added that the 1 st appellant had no right to adopt a set of names without following the right legal procedure. Court accordingly held that the trial judge rightly held that the 1 st appellant had failed to prove the authenticity of his academic qualification. The appeal was disallowed and court declared the respondent a validly elected.
