‘INEC server controversy meant to destroy integrity of electoral process’
onduct of the 2019 Presidential election, the Independent National Electoral Commission informed political parties that it will not be using electronic transmission of result for the election because there was no legal instrument backing it.
Muhammed said that the political parties agreed certain guidelines with the commission for the conduct of the 2019 elections, but the issue of the use of electronic transmission of results was not part of it because of the legal implications. “However, INEC informed all political parties in the election following the withholding of assent by the President that it would not deploy the electronic transmission of results since it would not be lawful to do so.
“Parties agreed on a lot of issues with the Commission and those were implemented. It is worrisome that only one political party out of 91 is saying a different thing on the Presidential election while at the same time praising its performance on the other elections, especially Governorship, conducted by the same INEC.”
“We recall that nine out of the eleven points for consideration we raised as candidates under the auspices of the IPAC and CUPP respectively were adopted by the Commission. How then can the EU-EOM accuse the Commission of a lack of transparency in putting up guidelines for the elections? “We, however, applaud the proactive leadership of the Electoral Commission for taking the best decision in the interest of the nation to shift the opening of polls and conduct of the elections.
