Some election results from the elections for the State Houses of Assembly and the governorship have been uploaded by the Independent National Election Commission.

There are reports that during the presidential and National Assembly elections, opposition parties and numerous Nigerians criticized INEC for not uploading results right away to its Result Viewing portal.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) faced scepticism after attributing delayed results transmission to technical issues during elections.

Despite their assurances just days before, claiming the problems were fixed and guaranteeing instant transmission, reality painted a different picture.

Checks by our correspondent revealed multiple inconsistencies:

Ogun State: Two sets of results surfaced.
Plateau State: A whopping 12 conflicting results emerged.
Zamfara State: No less than 11 different results confused.
Rivers State: A staggering 80 conflicting results raised serious concerns.
Lagos State: 85 discrepancies in transmitted results fueled doubts.

These discrepancies directly contradict INEC's claims of resolved technical issues and instant transmission.

The inconsistencies cast a shadow over the entire process, highlighting the need for thorough investigation and transparent explanations to restore public trust.

INEC Charts Nigeria's Democratic Course

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) pilots Nigeria's democratic ship, responsible for steering free, fair, and credible elections.

Founded in 1998, INEC navigates a complex political landscape, juggling diverse stakeholder interests while ensuring everyone has a say.

From registering parties and candidates to managing voter registration and polling day logistics, INEC wears many hats.

They run elections at all levels – presidential, gubernatorial, legislative – safeguarding democratic principles at every turn.

But the journey isn't smooth sailing. Accusations of fraud, logistical hurdles, and security concerns have tarnished some elections, raising questions about INEC's effectiveness.

Undeterred, INEC charts an improvement course. Technological advancements like the Permanent Voter Card and Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) bolster transparency and security.

Public engagement and voter education campaigns aim to promote inclusivity and informed participation.

INEC's success is woven into the fabric of Nigerian democracy. As the nation progresses, INEC's commitment to free and fair elections remains vital.

By championing transparency, tackling challenges, and embracing innovation, INEC empowers Nigerians to choose their leaders through the power of their vote.
