Osun Tribunal : INEC Defends Gov Adeleke’s Victory, Says There Was No Overvoting by 9jahotblog(op): 12:55pm On Dec 22, 2022
Osun Guber Tribunal : INEC defends Gov Adeleke’s Victory, says there was no Over-voting

The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) has launched its defence of the July 16th victory of Governor Ademola Adeleke, positing that over-voting can only be proven through comparison of server, a secondary data with primary data in the BVAS machines.



In a very revealing disclosure for the the second straight day of defence, the electoral body faulted claims of over voting as emanating from lack of understanding or deliberate oversight on the part of the petitioners on the working of the voting machines.



In a presentation by the witness from INEC, Abimbola Oladunjoye, the Tribunal was told that after the election, the electoral body had to embark on a synchronization process after which data will be transmitted to the backend server.



According to the witness, if there is no network on a BVAS machine, the information will not be transmitted to the backend server immediately. This makes the backend server an unreliable source to determine over voting.



On the previous data provided a team of lawyers from the All Progressives Congress(APC) , the INEC witness said it was to fulfil the spirit of the Freedom of Iinformation law which mandates the commission to provide information sought within a stipulated number of days.



While explaining that the commission deployed 976 BVAS devices to cater for some large voting centers during the election, the commission affirmed that over voting cannot be proven except through diligent comparison between form EC8A and the physical BVAS Machine.



“The earlier report as at 22nd of July was in fulfilment of the FOI bill mandating inec to provide response to information sought. As at this time, sychronization of data was still ongoing at the inec server backend”, the witness noted.



The sitting at tribunal was punctuated by intermittent adjournments even as the BVAS machines used at the challenged polling units by APC counsels were brought to court today.



It will be recalled that the total sum of 976 polling units were falsely alleged for over voting.



However, Mrs Oladunjoye who is a deputy director of ICT department cleared the mess by thorough explanation before the tribunal today.



She further established that a BVAS machine was deployed to where the total registration of voters were more than 750, stressing that the primary source of overall result was form EC8A, BVAS machines and the registered voters.



The details were given on how failure of network can cause awkwardness for transmission of the result to the headquarters. She thereby said the result will remain on the BVAS storage.



The tribunal sitting continues tomorrow.

I know you will bring this nonsense here.

Punch newspaper reported the original news which is already on the front page.

You are now countering it with a beer parlour media blog.

Your principal will be retired to jail for forgery.

Emotion can not keep him there.

With what you have posted here it means BVAS is still not reliable. Network can make it useless. It can also be manipulated and then blame it on network issue. In remote areas where there is low coverage of network we should not expect accurate result
