The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says its laws did not make it compulsory for it to transmit the 2023 presidential election results electronically.
The electoral body made its position known on Tuesday while responding to a petition filed before the Presidential Election Petitions Court (PEPC) in Abuja by the Action Peoples Party’s (APP) challenging the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
The APP in its petition, had challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 election, on the grounds that the electoral umpire failed to transmit results electronically, which violated the law.
