Gabriel Suri on behalf of the appellant, Hon. Matthew Wale then made an objection to this as there is no formal application made.
Mr Suri also made an undertaking to file a claim for a Judicial Review on Monday on the Governor General’s determination to proceed with the Prime Minister’s election on Wednesday this week.
Deputy Chief Justice Francis Mwanesalua after hearing the submission, adjourned the matter to Thursday next week.
This is to allow the application for dismissing the case and the judicial review on the Governor General’s decision to proceed with the Prime Minister’s election.
