The Supreme Court on September 5 rendered an abridged decision on the consolidated presidential election petitions, following it up later with an elaborated version after 21 days.

The decision by the Supreme Court, as a consequence of its constitutional placing as the highest court in the land and by virtue of the fact that its decisions bind all other courts, will have effect on electoral processes and its ripple consequences will be felt in the entire justice system.
