It is trite that in a multiparty democracy, like the Respondent State, during any election, the electorate would vote for different candidates. In this sense, therefore, there will be, within the broad group of voters, different subgroups depending on their political persuasion. While those supporting winning candidates may not have the motivation to approach electoral process, the other subgroups the courts for relief in relation to the of voters may be desirous of seeking judicial intervention to enforce their rights. 77.By outrightly barring the Courts from considering a complaint by anyone in relation to the results of a presidential election, in effect, article 41(7) of the Respondent State’s Constitution treats citizens that may wish to judicially challenge the election of a president differently and less favourably as compared grievances other than those related to the election of a president. 21 to citizens with
