The uploading of election results on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) results viewing portal for Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly polls has commenced.
Jungle-Journalist.Com had earlier reported that some concerned Nigerians had called out the Commission for flouting promise made on uploading results of elections in different polling units across the country as they are sorted, counted, and collated.
Recall on November 22, the INEC chairman, Yakubu Mahmoud, said there is no going back on its decision to upload the results of the 2023 general elections on its portal to enable Nigerians to have a real-time view of the results as they are being collated.
However, the Commission failed to upload results after several hours of completion of polls in most of the polling units in the country.
In latest development, INEC has commenced, despite the postponement of elections in 141 polling units in Bayelsa, as well as some electoral disruption by hoodlums in Lagos, Benue, Rivers, and other states, INEC has released election results in Anambra, Zamfara, and other states.
So far, results from 0.67% of the elections have been posted on the INEC website.
Out of the 176,846 polling units in the country, 1178 have been uploaded to the portal, leaving 175,668 unpublished, as at the time of filing this report.
