•Judges of the PEPC

The Presidential Election Petitions Court (PEPC) sitting in Abuja has dismissed the issue of substantial non-compliance with the provisions of the law, especially with regard to non-transmission of result sheets to INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV).

In its ruling on Wednesday, the court held that there is no law that says INEC must transfer or transmit the results of the election from the polling units electronically.

According to the Tribunal, the law empowers INEC to decide the means of collation of the results of elections in Nigeria.
