to all presidential candidates and their agents to the various original returns from the constituencies allowing them, if they believed any data recorded thereon was incorrect, to question such data and have the query so raised related to and dealt with by the Electoral Commission. 35. Ad Para 5.6- 5.8 This is denied. 35.1. The applicant, with respect, contradicts himself in this paragraph. Having previously averred in paragraph 5.1 of his affidavit that on August 1 st his election agents, Mr. Komichi and Mr. Timba, were called for verification of the presidential election results and that that process took two days, his deposition under paragraph 5.6 that no verification took place is at variance with his previous evidence. 35.2. Verification of presidential election results in terms of s110(3)(d) of the Electoral Act took place. 35.3. Because the provisions of Part XIII of the Electoral Act are imported, with necessary changes, into s110 of the Electoral Act, (except for sections 66, 67 and 68), it may also be helpful to refer to the provisions that describe and give colour and context to the verification process in Part XIII of the Act, these are s65(2)(b), s65A(2)(b) and s65B(2)(b).
