In a swift reaction, INEC, said it had not received the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the order of a federal high court mandating it to allow registered voters with Temporary Voter Cards, TVCs, to participate in the March 18 governorship and state assemblies elections.

The Commission described the order as contrary to the provisions of the Electoral Act 2033 (as amended), which provides that only voters with Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, should be allowed to vote in elections.
