The Electoral Commission (EC) Monday, June 8 filed its Supplementary Statement of Case to meet the timelines given by the Supreme Court last week.
It among other things says the underlying legal reasons for its decision not to include the existing voters Identification Card (ID) in the upcoming registration exercise is because the Supreme Court itself has held that the register is reasonably not credible and that by implication, the cards issued pursuant to it are also reasonably not credible.
The EC made this accession in a thirty-one-page response to the order of a seven member Supreme Court panel to provide legal basis for its decision to exclude the existing voters identity card from the list of IDs that are admissible for the upcoming voters registration exercise.
