Lawyers for the electoral commission yesterday told the Supreme Court that the validity of the August General Election will be affected if it upholds a finding that the commission had no quorum.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) lawyers said that if the Court of Appeal judgment was upheld, it would open a Pandora's box because the next elections, including the presidential one, will be challenged in court based on the alleged lack of quorum.
