85 an appeal to the Supreme Court for review; and that as such all of the first complainants were supposed to be before the Supreme Court. They assert that under the law, all of the first complainants remained parties to the suit or proceedings unless and until they are dropped, either by motion of a party or on the initiative of the court, none of which they say occurred in the instant case. As such, the fist complainants remained as a unit in the proceedings. The appellee makes the argument that notwithstanding all of the foregoing showing that the first appellants were still a unit and that none of them had been dropped, either at the instance of a party or by the NEC; and since the recognizance which the Elections Law requires each of them to pay to the NEC, a mandatory appeal obligation which none of them could escape from, was done for only Charles Walker Brumskine and Harrison S. Karnwea, the presidential and vice presidential candidates on the Liberty Party ticket, in the amount of US$5,000.00 and no other persons. The appellee claimed that since there were sixty-seven (67) Representative candidates fielded by the Liberty Party and all of them were purported to be part of the first complainants, each should have deposited a personal recognizance with the NEC of US$2,000.00, making a total of US$134,000.00, instead of UN$5,000.00 that was deposited. The NEC therefore regarded the recognizance entered into between it and the first appellants to be defective and therefore a ground for the dismissal of the appeal of the first appellants. The Election Law, in respect of the claim of the appellee and which the appellee states forms the basis for its motion to dismiss the appeal of the first appellants states: “The contestant shall enter into a recognizance for payment of cists incurred on the appeal in the following amount: (a) With respect to election of a president or vice president, the Liberian dollar equivalent of five thousand United States dollars ($US$5,000.00)… (c) With respect to election of a member of the House of Representatives, the Liberian dollar equivalent of two thousand United States dollars (US$2,000.00).”
