Tchimon v. Issouf

Judgment

Question Presented: Whether violence and disturbance against voters at polling centers took place and whether the elected candidate (defendant) was aware/ responsible for these violations? Whether these violations at the polling stations altered the fairness of the polls on election day?

Alleged Acts: Complainants sought annulment of the Bingerville elections because of obstruction of voting, violence against voters, and widespread fraud.

Summary: Evidence showed the various disturbances and the defendant's connection with people responsible for the violations. The difference in votes between the 1st and 2nd winning candidates was only 401 votes. The Court found that the disturbances and violations at the polls, given the small difference in votes, altered the fairness of the polls.

Conclusion: The Court cancelled the elections which took place in the town of Bingerville and orderered a re-poll within 3 months.
