After the ruling, UP took an exception with the hearing officer and appealed to the BOC requesting for a re-look into its case. “The returns of the elections shall be declared by the Elections Commission not later than fifteen days after the casting of ballots. If the court sustains the election of a candidate, the Elections Commission shall act to effectuate the mandate of the Court.”Cllr. Musa Dean, head of the NEC’s legal team, said the hearing officer’s ruling was legal and should be held as provided. Meanwhile, hearing into the LP’s case is expected to kick off today at 1 p.m. at the Commission’s headquarters in Monrovia.
