The presidential election petition tribunal has ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is at liberty to determine its mode of transmitting election results.
Haruna Tsammani, chairman of the tribunal, on Wednesday, cited the judgment of a federal high court in suit FHC/ABJ/CS/1454/2022 delivered on January 23, 2023.
Tsammani said the judgment subsists since the Labour Party (LP) has failed to appeal against it.
He also ruled that Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP) 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 who was the candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February polls.
The p (LP) approached the tribunal to challenge the victory of Tinubu over the delay in the electronic transmission of results by INEC among other issues.
