A total of 90 lawyers will be stationed across all counting venues to supervise counting and at the same time undertake on providing legal advice to electoral officers when the need arises.
Secretary of the Department of Justice and Attorney General, Dr Lawrence Kalinoe, announced this following a request made by the Electoral Commission.
He said lawyers will be deployed to the provinces two days before counting commences. The timing will also be subject to the financial support of the Electoral Commission.
