81 above represent the 1st complainants, including "all Representative Candidates of Liberty Party". 5. Further to count four (4) herein above, movant says and submits, assuming without admitting, that "all Representative Candidates of Liberty Party" were wrongly joined or misjoined, they remain parties until they are dropped by motion of any party or on the initiative of the Court. Civil Procedure Law, 1 LCL Rev., tit. 1, section 5.56 (1973). 6. Further to count five (5) herein above, movant says from the inception of these proceedings, beginning with the complaint, up to the announcement of appeal from the final ruling/judgment of the Board of Commissioners to this Honorable Court, Co-complainants: "all Representative Candidates of Liberty Party" have always been parties; and, therefore, announced an appeal to this Honorable Court by and thru their counsel. 7. Further to count six (6) herein above, movant says Section 6.8 of the New Elections Law of 1986 requires contestants to "enter into recognizance for payment of costs incurred on the appeal in the following amounts: "(a) with respect to the election of a President or Vice President, the Liberian dollar equivalent of five thousand United States Dollars (US$5,000.00)" and "(c) with respect to the election of a member of the House of Representatives, the Liberian dollar equivalent of Two Thousand United States dollars (US$2,000.00)". 8. Further to count seven (7) herein above, Movant says that there are sixty-seven (67) Representative Candidates of Liberty Party, amounting to US$134,000 (United States Dollars One Hundred ThirtyFour Thousand); notwithstanding, only United States Dollars Five Thousand (US$5,000.00) has been paid by 1st complainants as cost with respect to the appeal by Charles Walker Brumskine and Harrison S. Karnwea, Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates at the October 2017 Elections. 9. Further to count eight (8) herein above, movant says no amount has been paid for "all Representative Candidates of Liberty Party". Like an appeal bond, the amount paid is grossly inadequate to cover the appeal; thus the entire recognizance, as to 1st appellants, is a fit and proper subject for dismissal. WHEREFORE, and in view of the foregoing, movant prays Your Honors and this Honorable Court to dismiss and deny complainants' appeal; and grant unto Defendant/Movant/Appellee any other and further relief as Your Honors may deem just, legal and equitable in the premises. Respectfully submitted, The National Elections Commission MOVANT/DEFENDANT/APPELLEE The first appellants, having been served copy of the motion to dismiss and cognizant that the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court over the appeal taken by said
