Six months after Nigeria's general elections, INEC yet to upload detailed results

Nigeria held presidential and national assembly elections on February 23, while governorship and state assembly elections were conducted on March 9.

For governorship and parliamentary elections, the electoral commission is yet to upload any results. Rather, it only published the list of the eventual winners of the elections.Publishing of results of an election is mandatory on INEC, which has the responsibility for elections across Nigeria except for local government elections.

When contacted last week on the reason the results are yet to be uploaded, INEC spokesperson, Festus Okoye said, “the officials at the headquarters are yet to resume fully from the Sallah break.”INEC’s inaction on the results has, however, been condemned by civil society groups neglected to make public, detailed breakdown of the election results—including voided votes. This is part of a more worrying trend,” Idayat Hassan of the Centre for Democracy and Development said.

In his reaction, a lawyer, Monday Ejeh, said INEC’s inaction may be because there is no punlshment for not publishing the detailed results.
