The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, in its judgement on Wednesday, ruled that the petitioners did not prove how they were affected by the failure of INEC to electronically transmit the 2023 presidential election results.

The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room says the verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal on the 2023 presidential election may erode the progress made in the use of technology in elections.

The PEPT had on Wednesday, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the petitions of Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and Mr Obi of the Labour Party. “The Electoral Act 2022 provided safeguards indicating the need for INEC to be innovative in developing procedures that will help eliminate the human element regarding the conduct of elections. It seems to us that these innovative reforms may now face challenges as the Tribunal has opened the implementation of these reforms to INEC’s human discretionary powers. This is indeed worrying for our electoral system,” the Situation Room said.
