Keyamo in a tweet on Friday, equated the Central server to a coalition centre and asked if all political parties should not be represented for the purpose of transparency.

The Senior Advocate wrote: “If BVAS results are transmitted to a central server from the units, it means the central server is a Collation Center for this purpose. Therefore, for transparency, should ALL PARTIES not be represented at the location of the Central Server & see the results arrive? @inecnigeria”
