An appeal by candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, to drill the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on the technology deployed during general elections went up in flames on Saturday.
The Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, sitting in Abuja, failed to heed Obi’s request after he demanded that INEC answer 12 key questions.
Peter Obi want the electoral body to provide response to the following questions:
; “Who created/deployed the four (4) Applications Patches/Updates to fix the HTTP 500 error that prevented the e-transmission of the results of the Presidential election on 25th February 2023?
“What was the exact time of the occurrence of the technical glitch which prevented the e-transmission of the result of the Presidential election on 25th February 2023?
“What time were the technological glitches fixed and or repaired?
“What percentage of the result of the Presidential election was uploaded on the I-Rev on 25th February 2023?
“What percentage of the result of the Presidential election was uploaded on the I-Rev as at the time of the declaration of the Result of the Presidential election on 1st March 2023?
“If the Presidential Election was conducted concurrently with the National Assembly Elections on the same day and at the same time using the same technological devices, why were there glitches only with respect to the Presidential Election?,” Obi and his party added.
