At long last, the Presidential Election Petition Court delivered its long-awaited judgments on the three petitions filed in respect of the 2023 presidential election. Electronic transmission of resultsOne of the contentious issues before the Court was that of electronic transmission of results by INEC. In this regard, the Court held that INEC is not under any obligation to electronically transmit election results. The Court should have x-rayed the conduct of INEC in relation to the 2023 presidential election simpliciter, being the subject matter of the petition before it. We surely should not and cannot allow INEC to run away with all the mistakes and failures of the 2023 presidential election.
