The Labour Party (LP) has lost its bid to compel INEC to only use the electronic method in the transmission of the 2023 election results.
The party had filed a suit asking the court to compel INEC to adopt the electronic transmission of the 2023 election results.
The court, however, ruled that the electoral body is at liberty to determine how election results will be transmitted.
- A Federal High Court, Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by the Labour Party ( LP) seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to adopt the electronic transmission of the 2023 election results. Giving his judgement, Justice Emeka Nwite held that Section 52(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022, cited by counsel to the LP, Monday Mawah, provided for voting and transmission of results in accordance with the procedure to be determined by INEC.
