Re RWAMUCYO (IKIREGO KIGAMIJE GUSESA AMATORA)

The Supreme Court held that the petition was properly filed directly before it, as neither the Constitution nor the relevant Organic Law require prior submission to the National Electoral Commission. The petitioner failed to provide any credible evidence of abuse of office, illegal campaigning, or bribery. Therefore, the petition lacked merit and the election results stand.
