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. 60. Ad Para 6.2.2.3
