BVAS Reconfiguring: Peter Obi Lost The Appeal to Restraint INEC

The court of appeal refused to prohibit the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from reconfiguring the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) in preparation for the gubernatorial and state assembly elections.

A three-member bench of the court of appeal led by Joseph Ikyegh ruled on Wednesday that suspending the electoral commission would prevent INEC from holding elections on March 11.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, filed an application seeking a court order “restraining the 1st respondent (INEC) from tampering with the information stored in the BVAS machines until the due inspection is performed and certified true copies (CTC) of them are provided.”
