INEC at liberty to prescribe mode of transmitting election results, says Tribunal

In the ongoing judgment, the presidential election petition tribunal on Wednesday ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is at liberty to determine its mode of transmitting election results.

The Informant247 gathered that the chairman of the tribunal, Haruna Tsammani, while citing the judgment of a federal high court in suit FHC/ABJ/CS/1454/2022 delivered on January 23, 2023, held that the review exists since the Labour Party (LP) has failed to appeal against it.

Tsammani also held that  Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP) could not establish that INEC deliberately failed to upload results to the IReV to manipulate the election result in favour of President Bola Tinubu, who was the candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February polls.
