NigeriaDecides2023: Final results of Akwa Ibom Governorship election as declared by INEC (LIVE UPDATES)
The election, earlier scheduled for 11 March was postponed by a week to 18 March due to a delay encountered by INEC in getting the presidential election petition tribunal to grant it permission to reconfigure the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System to be used for the election.
The Tribunal had earlier granted the PDP and Labour Party access to inspect the sensitive materials used for the elections after they rejected the outcome and filed a case with the tribunal. To be announced winner, a candidate must score the highest number of votes and at least 25 per cent of votes in 21 of 31 LGAs in the state.
