Election Petition workshop

Electoral Commissioner Patilias Gamato said this when granting a request made by the Chief Justice Sir Salamo Injia during the two-day judges’ workshop on election petition.

Sir Salamo made a request to Commissioner Gamato to provide those documents to the Court registry from all the electorates for their records in preparation for the upcoming election petitions.

“We will make it available this election,” Gamato told the judges.

The request was made after lawyers gave a perspective of election petitions during the workshop.

Judge Administrator of the Election Petition track, Justice Collin Makail made this remarks during the start of a two-day workshop for judges around the country.

The workshop outlines the efficient and effective management of Election petitions from the newly endorsed 2017 Election Petition Rules.

Justice David Cannings took the judges through the new National Court Election Petition rules before administrator judge, Justice Makail, led discussions on challenges faced in the conduct of Election Petitions.
