Election Petitions
Representation before Election Petition Tribunals and Appellate Courts in petitions challenging or defending the conduct and outcome of primary elections or the return of a candidate at an election.
Electoral disputes are fought against unforgiving deadlines and demand in-depth command and knowledge of both procedure and evidence. We prepare and present petitions challenging the return of candidates — and defend petitions against the declaration and return of victorious candidates — before Election Petition Tribunals and the Appellate Courts, marshalling the documentary and testimonial record that these cases turn on.
From the moment results are declared, the timetable is short and strict and the margin for procedural error is non-existent. We move swiftly to inspect, secure and preserve evidence, frame the grounds precisely, and present the petition with the precision that this sui generis procedure requires.
