Justice Okoro ruled that failure to transmit election results electronically on IREV did not affect the election results.

“The court below held that the IREV is not a collation system, and I agree. The unavailability of the INEC results on the portal cannot be a ground for the election to be nullified.

“It is my well considered opinion that the failure to transmit results to the IREV, did not affect the result of the election. This issue is resolved in favour of the respondents.”
