The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal—PEPT, has declared that the Independent National Electoral Commission—INEC, was not under any form of obligation to transmit election results electronically.
Justice Haruna Tsamani led presidential election petition tribunal while ruling on the petition filed by the presidential candidate of the Labour Party–LP, Mr Peter Obi challenging President Tinubu’s victory on Wednesday, ruled that there was nowhere in law where INEC was only required to transmit results by electronic means.
The tribunal said the electoral umpire is at will to decide the means it deem fit to transmit election results.
It further held that there is no requirement for INEC to electronically transmit the results of the election.
