The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has provided an update on the collation of results in the ongoing governorship election in Edo State.<\/p>\n

The Commission, in a statement signed by Mohammed Haruna, National Commissioner & Member Information and Voter Education Committee on Sunday, affirmed the conclusion of voting on Saturday and the activation of the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal and uploading of the Polling Unit results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same results have also been collated from all the 192 Wards. Similarly, collation has been concluded in most of the Local Government Areas and the designated officials are already at the collation center in Benin City or on their way. We are set to commence State-level collation,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the Commission received a deeply disturbing report from our Resident Electoral Commissioner of a threat to our office in Okpoba Okha Local Government Area yesterday, resulting in a stampede in which one of our officials was injured.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are similarly disturbed by the overnight presence and demonstrations by some political actors and their supporters at our State Head Office ahead of the commencement of final collation. These actions are uncalled for. Nobody should disrupt the process at any stage and no one will be allowed to benefit from lawlessness.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, the collation of result will proceed as provided by the Electoral Act 2022 and our regulations and guidelines for the conduct of elections. There is a mechanism for redressing complaints during collation, including the power to review results declared under duress. The Commission will not hesitate to invoke such powers where necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccredited party agents, observers and the media should be granted unimpeded access to all collation centers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission calls on the security agencies to continue to maintain the same vigilance and professionalism that led to the peaceful conduct of the election as we conclude the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
