EDO POLL: 98.58% Of Results Uploaded On IReV, Says INEC 

The Independent National Electoral Commission has completed the upload of 98.58 percent of the results from the Edo governorship election onto its Result Viewing Portal.

So far, results from 4,455 out of the 4,519 polling units in the state where elections took place have been successfully uploaded on the portal as of 08:40 am on Sunday.

In Edo State, there are 2,629,025 registered voters distributed across 4,519 polling units. Among them, 2,249,780 individuals (85.57%) possess Permanent Voters’ Cards.

The competing candidates vying for the governorship position come from various parties, with Senator Monday Okpebholo representing the All Progressives Congress, Asue Ighodalo from the Peoples Democratic Party, and Olumide Akpata standing for the Labour Party.

The eventual winner will take over from Governor Godwin Obaseki, who is set to vacate Osadebe House on November 11 after serving two terms in office.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Edo State, Anugbum Onuoha, expressed confidence in the seamless electronic transmission of results during an interview on Arise Television, barring any network interruptions.

“We have trained the operators for the BVAS. They are set. BVAS is to accredit the voters and to know the total number of voters that will vote at that level and that polling unit.

“After that, the voters will start voting. At the end of the day, they will count the results, and it will be uploaded to our IReV,” he assured.
