Lawyer sues INEC over delayed uploading of election results to IReV portal

for the delay in uploading the results of the presidential and National Assembly elections from polling units to the IReV portal.

Citing section 60 of the Electoral Act 2022 and section 38 of INEC regulations, the plaintiff urged the court to determine whether the electoral umpire’s “failure or refusal to upload the results from each polling unit on the day of the election to the INEC IRev portal” does not nullify the polls.

In the court filings seen by PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday, Mr James said he has a duty as a lawyer and Nigerian to ensure that public institutions “entrusted with constitutional powers to conduct elections do so strictly in compliance with the law.” Mr James further pointed out that the use of the word – shall- puts a statutory responsibility on INEC to electronically transmit the election results from every polling station in Nigeria to its portal.

Nice move
