High Court orders EC to allow JP to view voters

During the last hearing of the case, held the 15th of this month, both JP and EC agreed to the EC to allowing them to visit the Commission’s office to view the list.

Member of the JP’s legal team, Mohamed Haleem Ali said that the party is satisfied with the High Court order.
