86 The appellee’s contention is that since the complaint was filed and pursued by not just the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Liberty Party but also by all candidates of the Liberty Party seeking election to the House of Representatives, amounts should also have been included in the recognizance to cover all of the persons purporting to be complainants and who sought election to the House of Representatives. The records certified to us by the NEC does verify that the complaint filed against the elections results and the manner in which the elections were conducted does state that all candidates seeking election to the House of Representatives on the ticket were part of the complainants and that they were represented by a single set of lawyers.

However, the records do not indicate that any of those steps were taken by the candidates who sought election to the House of Representative on the ticket of the Liberty Party. The bill of exceptions presented to the NEC on November 27, 2017 and approved by the members of the Board of Commissioners of the NEC and filed with the Supreme Court does not carry the names or any indications that the persons who sought election to the House of Representatives on the ticket of the Liberty Party were part of that appealing document. The logical and legal conclusion is that although their counsel had excepted to the ruling of the Board of
