Our reporter/ The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has uploaded 93.76 percent results of the Edo governorship election on the viewing portal (IReV).
As at 8:25 pm on Saturday a total of 4,237 results out of 4,519 have been uploaded on the IReV.
Out of the 4519 polling units, the electoral umpire has uploaded the result sheets of 4259 polling units.
Speaking earlier in an interview with Arise Television, Anugbum Onuoha, the resident electoral commissioner (REC) in Edo, said the governorship election results will be transmitted electronically.
Onuoha, however, warned that poor network could hinder the transmission of results to the viewing portal (IReV).
“You know that we have 4,519 pulling units across the 18 local governments, and so far we have deployed 4,622 BVAS to the various local governments. And we also have backup of 660 BVAS,” he said.
“We have trained the operators for the BVAS. They are set. BVAS is to accredit the voters, to know the total number of voters that will vote at that level, that polling unit.
“After that, then the voters will now start voting. At the end of the day, they will count the results, and it will be uploaded to our IReV.
“That is the state we are now. Rest assured that we’ll conduct an election that we can call our own.
“I just want you to confirm. So are you saying that this election is going to be… the results will all be transmitted electronically? Is that what you’re saying? Yes. Thank you.
“Yes, unless there is no network in that place. We will transmit it.”
