The appellant stated in the grounds of appeal that the decision to declare the result to prove that the appellant received several votes contrary to the real number received, which necessitates the order of the distinguished court to recalculate the number of votes obtained by each candidate in the subcommittees included in the General Committee No. 5 and including (54) sub-committees to determine the fact that the appellant ranked among the other candidates in the light of the fact that he received the votes.
He called on the authority to stop implementing the decision issued by the President of the National Electoral Commission to announce the result of the elections to the General Committee No. (5) the Department of Police of Hadaeq Al Qubbah with the recollection of the minutes of the (54) subcommittees and counting the votes in the two committees (50 and 52) again to show the real votes of each candidate with the consequent effects and implementation of the provision of his draft without announcement.
