58.2. No polling stations were created on polling day. 1HRDC and 2HRDC that the
applicant cites as examples of created polling stations are in fact not polling
stations. 1HRDC stands for ward 1 Hurungwe Rural District Council and 2HRDC
stands for ward 2 Hurungwe Rural District Council.
58.3. The document attached to the applicant’s papers marked annexure M is a
V23B form which records ward returns and not polling station returns. 1HRDC
and 2HRDC are listed under a column titled “Ward Number”.
58.4. The totals that appear under each candidate’s name on that form are totals
for the corresponding wards not for any single polling station.
58.5. Applicant’s annexure M is clearly titled “Collation of ward returns in respect
of National Assembly constituency election”. Why the applicant seeks to present
it as a return showing polling stations is unclear. What is clear is that the
applicant’s contention that certain polling stations disappeared, and others were
created on polling day is not substantiated by any evidence. It is in fact not true.
59. Ad Para 6.6.2.2
This is denied. I reiterate my averments in respect of the allegation that V11s were
not posted at 21% of polling stations. Applicant has not placed any evidence for his
averment before the court. He has not named the polling stations he alleges did not
have returns posted. His averments are bald and cannot, with respect, ground the
relief he seeks.
