Moral code of conduct is basically enforced at the time of the declaration of the result so that parties contesting the election do not indulge in malpractice for enticing the voters by offering them sops and also so that the party because of their being in power prior to the declaration of election do not use the official machinery to the detriment of the other contesting candidate and parties and the election are fair and impartial.
