The Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, tendered in evidence on Wednesday the final results for the 36 states
The national document known as Form EC8D was tendered by Paul Annanaba, SAN, on behalf of the party and Obi as part of the evidence in support of the petition protesting the outcome of the February 25 elections at the Presidential Election Petition Court.
The respondents, through their legal representatives on Wednesday, all agreed to the presentation of the national results for all the states and the FCT. The form EC8C is used for collating election results at the local government level. The results recorded at ward levels are entered into this form. But the respondents, through their counsel, all objected to the admissibility of the form EC8Cs. They informed the court that they would explain the reasons behind their objections in their final written addresses.
