Contrary to its earlier announcement, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to commence the collation of results for the Edo State governorship election held on Saturday, causing growing tension among political stakeholders and the electorate.
The INEC head office in Benin City which serves as the main collation centre for the election is filled with anxious party agents and observers awaiting the formal announcement of results.
INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Dr Anugbum Onuoha, had previously assured that the collation would begin at 10:00 AM on Sunday.
Onuoha in a press statement on Saturday night said, “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 10:00 AM.”
