The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has asked the Presidential Election Petition Court to differ the orders that were granted to the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party, Peter Obi, to inspect materials used for the presidential election.

In a motion on notice, INEC is praying the court to vary the order which restrained it from tampering with materials used for the election.

It is also asking the court to diverge the order to allow it to reconfigure its 176,846 BVAS for the March 11 governorship and state houses of assembly elections.

No date has however been fixed for hearing of the application.
