The electoral commission has accused the National Super Alliance (Nasa) of relying on alarmist and unproven claims contained in newspaper reports to oppose the award of the ballot paper printing contract to the Dubai-based firm Al Ghurair.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) told High Court judges hearing the Nasa suit that the opposition had failed to produce evidence to support claims that the government will interfere with the electoral process if the contract awarded to Al Ghurair is allowed to proceed.
