The Landless People's Movement has based their case to nullify the 2024 presidential elections on the "Poisoned Fruit Doctrine," which translates to that any outcome derived from unlawful actions is compromised and must be excluded to ensure fairness and integrity.

At the heart of their argument is the decision by President Nangolo Mbumba to extend the voting period.

The LPM claims this extension, authorised under questionable circumstances, constitutes the "poisoned fruit," making all ballots cast during the extended period invalid.

They argue that mixing valid and invalid votes has irreparably harmed the election's credibility.

The LPM also rejects claims by the Electoral Commission of Namibia and the President that their decision to extend voting was justified.

The party is of the view that the extension was irrational, disproportionately applied to only some areas, and lacked any legal or procedural basis, violating voters' constitutional rights to equality and fairness.

According to the LPM, the President and ECN exceeded their authority, undermining the separation of powers and the constitution's integrity.

The party is seeking the Supreme Court’s intervention to correct these alleged violations, with the LPM insisting that unlawful actions must not be allowed to influence Namibia's democratic processes.
