Dear Editor,
The appeal of the second elections petition was thrown out by the Appeal Court, upholding the decision of the High Court. Both courts on the same page in this instance, regarding the recount order.
Claims of unfavourable rulings from this Court were laid to rest as its decision was unanimous.
Having agreed in principle to a recount of votes cast, contributing to the crafting of the order for the recount, and losing the recount, the filing of the petition was seen as a face-saving recourse for supporters. The petition lost in two courts.
Yours faithfully,
Shamshun Mohamed
