The appellant and the respondent contested for
parliamentary seat in which the respondent was
declared and gazzeted as the winner. After the
lapse of about six months, the appellant
claimed to have found evidence that the

respondent had been illegally elected since he
didn’t have the necessary academic
qualifications claiming that the documents he
used were not his. She brought this to the
attention of the attorney general but took no
action hence the suit in her names and other
voters.
