outlined the provisions of Article 52 (3) of the Constitution, section 30 (1) (c) of the Electoral Process Act and regulations 11 (6) and 20 (2) of the Electoral Process (General) Regulations, 2016 as the provisions of interest. The Petitioner averred that it is mandatory for the 1st Respondent to publish a presidential candidate's statutory declaration of assets and liabilities and the failure to do so is a breach of the Constitution, hence the reliefs sought. [5] The Petitioner in his affidavit verifying facts essentially repeated the contents of the Petition. The Petitioner further stated that he officially requested the 1st Respondent to release the statutory declaration of the assets and liabilities for President Hakainde Hichilerna as per exhibited letter marked "SET1" but that the 1st Respondent has not published it. [6] In skeleton arguments in support of the Petition dated 2nd November, 2021, the Petitioner argued that during the nomination process, candidates are required to file a nomination paper and an affidavit showing that they qualify to vie for office in accordance with Article 52 (1) as read together with Article 100 of the Constitution. The nomination paper and the affidavit take the form prescribed in the Electoral Process (General) Regulations, 2016. Further, that part of the information required in the affidavit is an attachment of the statutory declaration of assets and liabilities of candidates. J4
