Frank Mandela Bawumia JSC DOTSE on presiding officers signatures If Article 49(3) would work injustice against the citizenry who registered, queued and voted, it is regrettable that I cannot in upholding the very constitution engage in any manipulation of language and deny its effect when it has been thrown to us for the first time ever in the history of this court. I will uphold the constitution and proceed to give effect to it by annulling the votes cast which were not, on the face of the pink sheets, signed by the presiding officer to reflect what actually took place at the various polling stations involved.The arguments that the agents signed and the result publicly declared by the presiding officers would not hold as in my opinion there is a clear breach of a vital constitutional provision which is a condition precedent to the declaration of the results involved in the affected polling stations."
