Members of SL’s National Election Commission (NEC) have also attended the session where the Constitutional court approved the results. Yesterday the court formally dropped 21 cases submitted by parliamentary candidates who were defeated in the polls and submitted gripes over the preliminary results issued by NEC. The candidates have questioned over the credibility of the polls and said that they were not satisfied with the results due to irregularities. The court having held a hearing session on the grievances voiced by the candidates has invalidated in a session held on 3rd of July which paved the way for today’s session in order to approve the results. The court said that the complaints lodged by the candidates were not based on the grounds of legality.

The opposition won. The losers have not accused opposition of election fraud.

JSL should help southerners like the brothers in Migiurtinia province to finally hold fair elections. Terrorism/piracy would be defeated

There was no election fraud. A few sore loser candidates griped cause they couldn't handle their defeat.

Like the great democratic and justice based society we are, our Supreme Court heard their grievances, found the grievances to be baseless and certified the election.
