No discrepancy in 2023 election – INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the results of the 2023 presidential election valid and authentic, dismissing claims of discrepancies between the results on its website and those presented by returning officers at the National Collation Centre, which were broadcast live on national television & VanguardLive.
Relying on the Freedom of Information Law, the Centre for Collaborative Investigative Journalism in a letter dated August 7 & addressed to the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, alleged that in the televised announcements, INEC reported 1,578 polling units where voting was cancelled because of irregularities.
It said no figures were given for the reason, though officials cited overvoting, violence and other irregularities, adding that the total number of registered voters was about 1,205,000.
However, the Centre said in the documents filed on IREV that INEC polling workers reported 2,203 polling units where voting was cancelled because of irregularities.
