magambo j masato others vs esther amos bulaya others 2017 tzca 183 24 july 2017

Court
TZCA

Appellants failed to prove to the required standard that alleged irregularities materially affected the election results. Notification to the political party satisfied legal requirements. The error in recording registered voters was accidental and corrected, not affecting the outcome. The burden of proof remained with appellants, and procedural errors were not fatal. The appeal lacked merit and was dismissed.

20170724 TZCA Dar es salaam

Court
TZCA

The appellants failed to discharge the burden of proof regarding alleged irregularities and non-compliance with election laws. Notification to the political party sufficed for candidate notification. The error in recording the number of registered voters was a trivial, non-material irregularity. The trial court's refusal to order production of original forms was justified as the issue was not properly pleaded. Extraneous considerations did not affect the outcome; the dismissal was based on insufficiency of evidence.
