BREAKING: Court grants INEC permission to re-configure BVAS

The Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Wednesday, has given the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, approval to reconfigure the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, it used for the presidential elections.

The court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of justices, held that stopping the electoral body from reconfiguring the BVAS would adversely affect Saturday’s governorship and state assemblies elections.
