[379] In concluding this aspect of the petition, it is our finding that the illegalities and irregularities committed by the 1st respondent were of such a substantial nature that no Court properly applying its mind to the evidence and the law as well as the administrative arrangements put in place by IEBC can, in good conscience, declare that they do not matter, and that the will of the people was expressed nonetheless. We have shown in this judgment that our electoral law was amended to ensure that in substance and form, the electoral process and results are simple, yet accurate and verifiable. The presidential election of 8th August, 2017, did not meet that simple test and we are unable to validate it, the results notwithstanding. (iv) What Consequential Declarations, Orders and Reliefs Should this Court Grant, if Any? [380] In the petition, the petitioners sought the following Orders; “(a) Immediately upon the filing of the petition, the 1st respondent do avail all the material including electronic documents, devices and equipment for the presidential election within 48 hours; (b) Immediately upon the filing of the petition, the 1st respondent do produce, avail and allow access for purposes of inspection of all the logs of any and all servers hosted by and/or on behalf of the 1st respondent in respect of the presidential election within 48 hours; (c) A specific order for scrutiny of the rejected and spoilt votes; Presidential  Petition  No.  1  of  2017                                                                                                                                                                                                            165  |  P a g e
