78 operates prejudicially on the right of others and was so intended. 37 Am Jur. 2d., Fraud and Deceit, Section 1. Appellee's violations of the Constitution, Elections Law and its own regulations for the conduct of the October 10, 2017 elections operated prejudi-cially on Appellants/Intervenors' rights. Ample evidence was shown that used ballots were buried, hundreds of voters had more than one voter registration card and voted multiple times, thousands and thousands of voters were not allowed to vote. So the CDHO should have ruled that actual frauds had been committed during the course of the October 10, 2017 elections. Instead the CDHO ruled and the NEC Board confirmed that no frauds or irregularities were committed or occurred. From this ruling, Appellants/Intervenors except. 47. Appellants/Intervenors say that the CDHO erred when he implied in his Final Ruling that the frauds complained of by Appellants/ Intervenors must be proved by only direct and positive evidence. Liberian law provides that fraud may be inferred from circumstances. Kontar v. Mouwaffak, 17 LLR 446. Liberian law also provides that fraud may be established not only directly but by inconclusive circumstances which by their weight and number jointly considered may constitute sufficient proof. Sirleaf v. Azar and Saba, 21 LLR 221. Had the CDHO and the NEC Board applied these principles of Liberian law to the evidence adduced by Appellants/Intervenors at the hearing, the CDHO and the NEC Board would have properly conclu-ded that the October 10, 2017 elections was fraught with massive frauds and gross irregularities; but the CDHO did not and the NEC Board confirmed his Final Ruling. And for that reason, Appellants/ Intervenors except. 48. That Appellants/Intervenors say that in denying Appellant/ Intervenors' prayer for annulment of the October 10, 2017 elections and confirming Appellee's determination that a run-off election between Joseph Nyumah Boakai, Unity Party's presidential candidate, and George Manneh Weah, presidential candidate for the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), should be conducted, at the minimum the CDHO and the NEC Board should have also ruled that prior to conducting any run-off election, Appellee should comply strictly with the Constitution, the Elections Laws and all Appellee's regulations regarding the FRR, which is a sine qua non for any free, fair and transparent election. The CDHO should have ruled at a minimum that the Appellee should conduct a verification of the FRR, remove all duplicate voters, multiple registrations, and illegal voters, and to sanitize the process so that the elections are conducted in accordance with law. The CDHO's and the NEC Board's failure to include these minimum requirement or standards as a pre-condition for a run-off election, was an error and Appellants/Intervenors except. 49. Appellants/Intervenors also say that considering that Appellee conceded that it experienced "difficulties" and "challenges" before and during the conduct of the October 10, 2017 elections, in ordering a run-off election instead of a re-run of the elections, the CDHO should have included a mechanism through which Appellants/ Intervenors, on the one hand, and Senator George Manneh Weah and his Coalition
