How irregularities at ward collation affected presidential, National Assembly elections – CDD

CDD, in the report released on Monday, stated that apart from its observers, it also deployed software and apps.

The February 23 presidential and National Assembly elections were marred by widespread irregularities at ward level collation of results, the Centre for Democracy and Development has said.

“Ward-level collation in the 8809 political wards is very important because it is the first stage of the collation process, with errors at this stage being fed into, and shaping, the overall collation process,” he said. “While some officials lacked knowledge of the collation process, others lacked the basic arithmetic skills needed for quick collation of results thereby leading to errors in the result sheets, inconsistencies in collated figures and delays to the whole collation process.

“A similar incident was reported at Isiokpo, Ikwerre LGA – again in River state – where according to our observers between 7-8pm on election day the military stormed the INEC Office at Isiokpo and walked out all the ad-hoc staff who were there to present their results to the collation officers. No collation took place. In Akwa Ibom, police officers threatened and assaulted some accredited party agents, election observers and journalists.
