The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, on Wednesday, ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission is at liberty to determine its mode of transmitting election results.
Chairman of the tribunal, Haruna Tsammani, who cited the judgment of a Federal High Court in suit FHC/ABJ/CS/1454/2022 delivered on January 23, 2023, said the judgment subsists since the Labour Party has failed to appeal against it.
He also ruled that Peter Obi and the Labour Party could not establish that INEC deliberately failed to upload results to the IReV in order to manipulate the election result in favour of President Bola Tinubu, the candidate of All Progressives Congress in the February polls.
LP approached the tribunal to challenge the victory of Tinubu over the delay in the electronic transmission of results by INEC, among other issues.
