Unity Party (UP) yesterday filed papers asking the Supreme Court to demand the National Elections Commission (NEC) to make available to it records of the October 10 presidential and legislative elections. The court accepted the request and set today, November 16, to hear arguments between the NEC and UP on whether or not it should compel the electoral body to surrender the requested documents to the complainant (UP). “This is contrary to and against the orders of the court that all election disputes pending before the NEC should be expeditiously disposed of,” the UP lawyer stated. “On November 10, the NEC entertained argument in the appeal and reserved ruling. Meanwhile, the NEC has been given up to 9 am today to reply to UP’s request to the Supreme Court.
