The Court of Appeal, Abuja has granted approval to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reconfigure the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) for the governorship and state house of assembly elections.

Wednesday’s ruling was on the ground that the information on the BVAS machines will be uploaded into the back-end server which cannot be tampered with.

In an application, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi had sought an order from the court restraining INEC – the 1st respondent – from tampering with the information in the BVAS machines until due inspection is conducted and certified true copies (CTC) of them issued.
