INEC Uploads 83% Of Results To IReV Portal

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has uploaded 83% of the results from polling units across the country on its IReV portal.

The commission has so far released 147,578 results from 176, 846 polling units on the portal, five days after the presidential election.

The figure represents 83 per cent of results from all the polling units.

As of the time of filing this report, the electronic transmission of results was still ongoing.

Nigerians expected that the election results would be uploaded on election day as promised by the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

However, INEC came under fire for its failure to upload results to its viewing portal which led to the walkout of some party agents on Monday, at the National Collation Centre.

According to the Commission, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress won 8.8 million votes, while main opposition candidates Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party had 6.9 million and 6.1 million, respectively.
