A Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by the Labour Party (LP), seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to adopt electronic method in transmitting 2023 election results.
In the judgement, Justice Emeka Nwite, held that Section 52(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022, cited by counsel to the party, Monday Mawah, provided for voting and transmission of results in accordance with the procedure to be determined by INEC.
Within this legal framework, the court therefore ruled that INEC has the right to adopt whatever method it considered appropriate.
