Waiting game continues as INEC fails to commence collation at 10am

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to commence the collation of results for Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State.

INEC head office in Benin, Edo capital, is the main collation centre for the election.

There has been tension in the state over delay in the formal announcement of results.

Dr. Anugbum Onuoha, INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), had in a statement said collation would kick off by 10am on Sunday.

“This is to inform the general public, Political Stakeholders and observers that the Collation of results for the ongoing Edo State Governors Election will resume today (Sunday) 22nd September, 2024 at 10:00am,” the statement read in part.

However, as at the time of filing this report (10:37am), collation had not started.

Daily Trust had reported how Governor Godwin Obaseki had stormed INEC office amid the delay in coalition.

Meanwhile, the electoral umpire has uploaded results on its Result Viewing Portal (IReV).

The report from the portal indicated that 4439 results out of 4,519 results have been uploaded on the IReV, a progress of over 96 percent.
