The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), chaired by Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has completed uploading the Borno State results for the governorship and state house of assembly elections held on March 18. To date, the commission has uploaded 138,124 of the expected 149,263 results on its IReV portal, representing 93 percent of the overall 2023 governorship election outcomes.
Opposition parties and some Nigerians criticized INEC for failing to upload results promptly on its Result Viewing portal during the presidential election. The commission attributed the delay to technical glitches that hampered result transmission, a justification many critics rejected. However, a few days before the March 18 elections, INEC announced that the technical issues had been resolved and pledged that election results would be transmitted immediately.
