"content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am feeling very frustrated. I have been in court so many times and this is one of the most important grounds on any election petitions. In fact, the judges would normally allow a scrutiny only where the difference is small. Because when the victory is overwhelming, then they say that it may not change the vote. But where the majority is like five or ten and you can actually bring evidence--- I was doing a case from Budalangi, and I think hon. Namwamba knows about it, where evidence was adduced in court; women were brought in court and they said: ‘Actually the candidate paid money to me at this hour, this time”. There was evidence that that vote was secured through a bribe. If there is that truth, then this particular law is saying that that vote should be struck off and not the ballot. This has been good law. It is there in India, the UK and everywhere."
