118 burden to show and demonstrate that even in the absence of such complaints, there were widespread irregularities and fraud committed throughout the national electoral spectrum. We are not convinced that that burden of proof was met. This Court cannot be asked and certainly cannot be expected to indulge in such speculation, in the absence of such overwhelming catalogue of evidence showing widespread irregularities at most of the 5,390 polling centers, and on the basis of that evidentiary failure, to have the Court proceed to annul the entire elections and order a rerun, being fully aware of the enormous expense and other consequences for the nation. In a similar vein, as stated above, the political parties were under an obligation to themselves and to their constituents to work so closely with NGOs, International and National and other Observers so that their efforts were spread throughout the country and not just in particulars places where many of them assembled, leaving other areas completely unattended.
