The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday raised fears that the results and data of the 1999 and 2003 general elections were missing.
The commission, however, said researchers did not find it difficult to trace the 2019 general election results which were already online.
According to her, the programme focused on preparing a compendium of 2007, 2011 and 2015 general elections results because data of the results of the 1999 and the 2003 general elections were not available.She said, “We want people to get the statistics of the voters; the women, the men, artisans and the rural dwellers.
“It was difficult to get that of 1999 and 2003; much of the data were not made available because it was scattered in various offices but the 2019 data was not like that because we had a better way of storing them and it’s online.Also speaking was a National Commissioner and Chairman, Board of The Electoral Institute, Prince Solomon Soyebi, who said they have interrogated the results of the elections.
