Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, on trial for 32 counts of bribery related to 2018 ZIFA presidential elections, sought review of the magistrate's refusal to discharge him at the close of the prosecution case. The payments were allegedly made to ZIFA congress members to secure votes, though most recipients claimed they were campaign expense reimbursements.
