Anyone seeking to challenge the General Election presidential results has until Friday to do so.
A notice advertised by the Judiciary in local dailies last Friday as well as a gazette notice published late last month indicated the said timelines.
“The Supreme Court presidential election rules 2017 have been promulgated to ensure smooth and expeditious disposal of any disputes relating to the election of the President,” the Supreme Court registrar said.
While the person who goes to court in such a case must do so within seven days after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has declared its results, those sued must respond within four days after being given copies of the case documents.
The court would then have a first sitting eight days after such a case has been filed.
A presidential petition has to be determined in 14 days.
