Chrispin Siingwa v Stanley Kakubo (2016/CCA/A28; Appeal No. 7 of 2017) [2018] ZMCC 269 (20 August 2018)

Election nullification requires a named agent or candidate involvement and proof that malpractices affected the majority of voters.

Electoral law — election agent — statutory appointment and naming in nomination paper — attribution of corrupt acts; Election petitions — standard of proof — section 97(2)(a) requires proof of corrupt/illegal act and that majority of voters were or may have been prevented; Bribery and undue influence — isolated inducement insufficient to void election without majority/prevention evidence; Credibility — appellate restraint on factual findings.
