The presiding judge stressed that there is no law that makes the transmission of electoral results from polling units mandatory.
Tsammani gave the ruling on the petition by the Labour Party, LP, on the implication of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s failure to promptly upload the photographic election result sheets to IReV.
