| Allowing People with Deadly Weapons at Polling Stations:
The Petitioner complains in Para 3 (1) (r) that contrary to Section 42 of the Act the 2nd Respondent and its Agents or Servants in the course of their duties allowed people with deadly weapons to wit soldiers and para-military personnel at Polling Stations - a presence which intimidated many voters to vote for the soldiers boss - the 1st Respondent - while many of those who disliked to be forced for that candidate stayed away or refrained from voting at all.
In reply the 2nd Respondent denied allowing any unauthorised armed people in any Polling Station and stated that no voters were refrained from voting for a candidate of their choice as alleged.
Section 42 of the Act provides,
“(1) No person shall arm himself or herself during any part of polling day with any deadly weapon or approach within one kilometre of a Polling station with deadly weapons unless called upon to do so by lawful authority or where he or she is ordinarily entitled by virtue of his or her office to carry arms.
