| Affidavit Evidence:
Pursuant to provisions of the Presidential Elections (Election Petitions) Rules (S.1 .200 1 No.13) to which I shall refer as “Election Petitions Rules”, the petition and the respondents’ answers thereto were supported and accompanied by affidavits of the respective parties, and the evidence at the trial, in favour and against the petition, was by way of affidavits. In the course of submissions by counsel two issues were raised on the affidavits. One was in respect of affidavits that offended provisions of the law. The other is in respect of uncontroverted affidavits, and affidavits not referred to in submissions. Counsel identified four provisions of the law which some of the affidavits were supposed to have offended. I will briefly consider each legal provision and its application to the questioned affidavits.
