A three-man panel of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja has granted PDP, Atiku access to All Electoral Materials in the presidential elections.

The panel on Wednesday heard the
ex-parte motion filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, seeking an order granting them
access to inspect the electoral materials used for the February 23
polls.

Atiku filed an ex-parte motion at the Court of Appeal in
Abuja, asking for various orders of the court to allow him to access all
documents used by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
for the conduct of the presidential election.

The ex-parte motion
prayed for an order compelling INEC to allow them to inspect the
register and other vital documents used in the conduct of the election
unhindered.

In delivering its ruling, the panel ordered INEC to
allow the appellant access to all electoral material to enable the
applicant file and maintain an electoral petition.

However, the court refused prayers 3 to 5 which sort scanning and forensic audit. Stating that a forensic audit does not fall under the terms envisaged by section 151 of the electoral act.
