Case summary

The court held that the duty of the second appellate court is not to re appraise the evidence. That the Parliamentary Election Act only applies where there is a lacuna in the Local Governments Act. That the standard of proof in all election petitions is the same and it is to the satisfaction of the court. That the bribery was not proved and couldn’t vitiate the election.
