The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will appeal the court judgement granting request of two plaintiffs to use their temporary voter cards (TVCs).

This was disclosed by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, in a statement on Thursday.

“INEC has been served a copy of the judgement delivered by the Federal High Court, Abuja Division which ordered it to allow two Plaintiffs to vote with their Temporary Voter’s Card (TVC)”.

The court added that it was unable to grant prayer three which was to allow every eligible voter with a TVC to vote because the suit was not filed in a representative capacity.

“The Commission is taking immediate steps to appeal against the judgement of the trial court.”
