The Presidential Election Petition Court has adjourned the hearing in the case filed by Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate, until Tuesday, July 4, 2023. The adjournment was a result of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) being unable to present its defence due to the absence of three crucial witnesses.

Previously, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Atiku Abubakar concluded their case on June 23, 2023, after presenting 27 witnesses to support their claims. Likewise, the Labour Party and Peter Obi wrapped up their case on the same day, bringing forward 13 witnesses and presenting important documents as evidence, which were admitted by the court as exhibits.

The primary issue at the center of the dispute is the allegation that INEC failed to conduct the election in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Act (2022). The petitioners argue that INEC had made a commitment to transmit the presidential election results electronically through the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System and INEC Results Viewing Portal, but failed to fulfill this promise.

Furthermore, the Labour Party and Peter Obi have accused INEC of engaging in electoral malpractices during the elections.

Their defeat will be resounding
