Court held that the applicant relied on

defamatory claims. Court was of the opinion
that the claims were not set out verbatim as
required of defamation claims and that they
were therefore defectively framed. Court
added that the applicant had not stated the
law under which the claims were based.
Court accordingly held that the applicant had
failed to prove any of the electoral offences
claimed to prove that the election of the first
respondent was marred by noncompliance
with electoral laws. Court dismissed the
appeal.
