In times past a number of representatives from each contesting political party were at the collation centre and relayed the results to their various parties before the EC made the formal declaration. No cameras were allowed at the centre.
This has sometimes led to false predictions in the public and media space.
She finally reiterated her stance that it is practically impossible for her to cheat for any political party contesting in the elections in December.
