INEC At Liberty To Define Mode Of Transmitting Election Results – PEPT Rules, Says LP, Peter Obi Failed To Prove Tinubu Convicted for money laundering
On the issue of substantial non-compliance with the provisions of the law, especially with regard to non-transmission of result sheets to INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), the Presidential Elections Petition Tribunal holds that there is no law that says INEC must transfer or transmit the results of the election from the polling units electronically.
The Tribunal argued that the law simply empowers INEC to decide the means of collation of results of elections.
The Presidential Election Petitions Court on Wednesday also ruled that the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, failed to prove that President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was convicted for money laundering in the United States.
The five-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani ruled that no record of criminal arrest or conviction was established against Tinubu by the petitioners; Obi and the LP.
