Only an election court reserved the power to overturn such results. The court agreed with them; the task of the national tallying centre was merely to add up what is remitted from the 290 constituencies and declare the resultant winner. This is why NASA, a coalition of parties which have in the past borne the brunt of the misuse of power by the national tallying centre, is pushing to have the constituency results binding. A lot of mischief will be avoided if constituency results are held sacrosanct and alterable only by an election court. True to character, IEBC simply waited until it ran out of time, then re-awarded the tender to the same company.
