The INEC Chairperson says the results of Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo states will be uploaded to IReV because it is a matter of law.
The Chairperson, Independent National Electoral Commission , Mahmood Yakubu, has said that the polling unit results of Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states governorship elections will be uploaded on its Result Viewing Portal .
By not making such commitment, Mr Yakubu could have taken his cue from the last presidential election when the failure to promptly upload polling unit results to IReV as earlier promised by the commission triggered tremendous criticism from opposition candidates and caused a major blow to the credibility of the poll.
“That’s going to be the procedure and it’s for that reason that I will advise you also, for those who are registered on the IREV portal, that in the next two hours or so, go to the IREV portal and you will see the result of the mock accreditation from all the three states.IReV is an online platform where photographic pictures of polling unit results are meant to be uploaded using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines as soon as voting and collation end at the various voting units.
The Presidential Election Petition Court, in September, dismissed the opposition candidates’ arguments about the IReV, a major thrust of their petitions, and affirmed the victory of President Bola Tinubu. The court insisted that IReV had no place in the legal process of counting and collation of results.
He said that INEC chose the PU 009, LEA School, Ganaja Village because it is the largest and most densely populated in Nigeria PU with 13,000 registered voters. “But our preference will be to use this place as a super-RAC where we will camp the ad hoc staff overnight,” he said.Mr Yakubu, thereafter, met with members of staff of the commission at INEC state headquarters in Lokoja.
