The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on Wednesday ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release electoral materials used for the just-concluded House of Assembly elections to the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
The tribunal said the party should inspect and analyse the materials to enable it prove its case that the House of Assembly election did not take place.
Justice Ononeze Madu gave the order while adjudicating a case filed by the AD candidate for Southern Ijaw Constituency 4, Mr. Victor-Ben Eredei.
Ruling on the exparte motion brought by the applicant’s lawyer, M.J Numa, Madu ordered that INEC should release all the polling materials.
She said the materials should include ballot papers, copies of the EC8 series and electronic print out from the Central Data Base of accredited voters obtained through the card readers used for the conduct of the election in the area.
Moving the motion exparte earlier, Numa, sought the order of the tribunal to compel INEC to allow the party inspect the election materials used for the conduct of the April 11 State Assembly election in the constituency.
