According to INEC, the commission has commenced uploading polling unit results onto its Result Viewing (IReV) portal following yesterday’s voting.
The electoral umpire noted that results from all 192 Wards have been collated, and most Local Government Areas have concluded their collation. State-level collation is set to begin.
However, INEC expresses concern over incidents in Okpoba Okha local government area, where threats to its office led to a stampede that injured an official. Additionally, the commission lamented unauthorized gatherings by political actors and supporters at the state head office overnight were disturbing.
Recall that Governor Godwin Obaseki had visited the office of the commission at about 2am on Sunday, September 22, while the governorship election results were being collated at the ward and local government level in the state.
In a tweet later on Sunday, INEC reaffirms its commitment to conducting a transparent and lawful process and adhering to the Electoral Act 2022 and regulations.
It urges security agencies to maintain professionalism, ensuring a peaceful conclusion to the electoral process.
