BREAKING: Court Grants INEC Permission To Reconfigure BVAS And Refutes Obi’s Request To Stop INEC From Reconfiguring
By People’s Voice Nigeria | News
The court of appeals has refused to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from reconfiguring the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) ahead of the governorship and state assembly elections.
In the ruling delivered on Wednesday, a three-member panel of the court of appeals led by Joseph Ikyegh held that restraining the electoral commission would constrain INEC from conducting the March 11 elections.
In an application, Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), sought an order of the court “restraining the 1st respondent (INEC) from tampering with the information embedded in the BVAS machines until the due inspection is conducted and certified true copies (CTC) of them are issued.”
