CHIRIKO HARUNI DAVID v. KANGI ALPHAXARD LUGORA AND 2 OTHERS, CIVIL APPEAL NO. 36 OF 2012

Abstract

The appellant, Chiriko Haruni David, filed an election petition at the High Court challenging the parliamentary election results for Mwibara Constituency. In the course of the proceedings, a legal issue arose regarding Section 111 of the National Elections Act [Cap 343 R.E. 2010]—specifically, whether it is mandatory for every petitioner to file an application for determination of security for costs, or whether such application applies only to indigent petitioners.
