The trial judge gave reasons for the exercise of discretion. I have not been persuaded that the reasons she gave were erroneous in law as Mr Kibedi submitted. I would not interfere with the orders she made. Remedies The findings on the issues that were framed for our determination would entitle the appellant to the following declarations and orders: 1. The learned trial judge erred when she placed a higher standard of proof on the petitioner than what the law required. 2. The learned trial judge erred when she held that the 1st respondent 10 was possessed with minimum academic qualifications for nomination and election as a Member of Parliament. 3. The 1st respondent personally committed an illegal act of bribery. His election as a Member of Parliament for Jinja East Constituency would be annulled. I would order for fresh election 4. The appeal would be allowed with costs and the cross-appeal would fail. 5. The appellant would be awarded costs of the appeal and crossappeal. 20 Since my Lords Nshimye and Arach –Amoko agree, there will be judgment in the terms set out in this judgment. 32
