The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission’s (IEBC) appeal against a High Court’s ruling terminating the printing of presidential ballot papers tender awarded to the Dubai-based Al Ghurair firm sailed through the Appeals court yesterday. A string of earlier court losses by IEBC placed the electoral agency in a quandary, and the commissioners did not hesitate to point out they would not be able to go through all the legal requirements for a fresh tender in time for the August 8 elections.
