Exactly two weeks after the presidential election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has still not uploaded the complete results from all polling units to its Results Viewing portal, known as IReV. Our correspondent’s checks show that the commission has uploaded 166,168 results from 176,846 polling units, representing 93.96 % of the total. Consequently, results from 10,678 polling units remain absent from the portal.
Nigerians had expected the election results to be posted on election day, as promised by INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu. The commission’s failure to do so sparked criticism and led to the walkout of some party agents at the National Collation Centre in Abuja. Despite agitation from opposition parties, INEC declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu, President‑elect, with almost 8.8 million votes. Main opposition candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi received 6.9 million and 6.1 million votes, respectively.
