In what may seem like a desperate move, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has gone ahead to announce the results of Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State. DAILY POST reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is the only body authorized by the Constitution and the 2022 Electoral Act to announce election results.

The PDP alleged that Josephine brazenly allocated votes to the All Progressives Congress (APC) beyond the number of accredited voters at the polling unit. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it will investigate allegations of wrong figures entered into polling unit result sheets in the ongoing Edo governorship election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission said that 98.23 percent of the results of Saturday’s Edo State Governorship election have been uploaded into its Result Viewing Portal as of the time of filing this report.
