Dear Friends,

At Page 106 of the Supreme Court Ruling, this is what they say;

‘[290] Suppose, however, that the candidates, or a candidate who took part in the original election, dies or abandons the electoral quest before the scheduled date: then the provisions of Article 138(1) (b) would become applicable, with fresh nominations ensuing.’

Now this is the Law;

Procedure at presidential elections;

138 (1)- If any one candidate for President is nominated, that candidate shall be declared elected.
(2) if two or more candidates for President are nominated, an election shall be held in each constituency,

Now, that is the Law. Where is 138(1)(b)? Or is it a Supreme Typing Error?

Could they be making reference to Article 138(8)(b)? This kind of error is very consistent with the careless way in which the Petition was dismissed.
