The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has made significant progress in the ongoing Edo governorship election as it continues to upload results to its Result Viewing Portal (IREV). As of Saturday, 74.68% of the results from polling units across the state have been successfully published online.
The latest report from INEC indicates that 3,375 out of the 4,519 polling units where elections were conducted have already had their results uploaded to the portal, giving stakeholders and citizens an opportunity to monitor the process in real-time. This development reflects INEC's commitment to transparency and ensuring the credibility of the electoral process.
While the results are being uploaded, citizens, political parties, and observers are keeping a close watch as they await the final declaration of the winner of the Edo State governorship election. The ability to follow the results live has increased public confidence in the system, as many have taken to social media to praise INEC's efforts to ensure a transparent process.
However, concerns remain about the delay in uploading the remaining results, with some citizens calling for a quicker resolution to avoid any uncertainties or potential disputes.
As the situation unfolds, Edo State continues to stay on high alert, with security agencies on standby to maintain order. The elections have so far been largely peaceful, with only a few reported incidents of disruptions in some areas.
More updates will follow as INEC progresses towards the completion of the result uploads.
