This article offers five reasons for this conclusion:
Supreme Court’s reliance on backward looking, mean-spirited, cramped
Nigerian precedent.
Tolerant and uncritical acceptance of the IEBC’s explanations on the
voter registers.THE IEBC IS THE AUTHORITY IN ALL MATTERS VR.... NO ONE ELSE CAN SAY WHAT CONSTITUES A REGISTER
Lack of clarity about IEBC’s duty to ensure that final results could be
verified against provisional results.PROVISIONAL RESULTS WERE TO FEED THE BEAST....IT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE A VERIFICATION MECHANISM.... PROVISIONAL RESULTS WOULD ALWAYS BE TRUMPED BY OFFICIAL RESULTS...THE ONLY MENTION OF THEM IN LAW (REGULATIONS) IS FOR THEIR COLLECTION
The Court’s use of subsidiary legislation to limit the meaning of “votes
cast,” an unambiguous phrase in the Constitution.
The evidential foreclosure that the Court imposes on itself by taking
judicial notice of technology failures instead of treating IEBC as
spurious.
Sadly, as the saying is, in this judgment, the Supreme Court has only given
us reasons that sound good, not good, sound reasons.
MY 2 CENTS Maybe you should read the whole article first. From your answers it appears you may have not. replying to the summary I suspected as much. Had all the time in the world when I found some early bird was already at my kinyozi so got to read it. The article addresses your response in depth.
