The compilation of the 2023 presidential election results at the International Conference Centre in Abuja has been postponed by the Independent National Election Commission (INEC).
Tuesday at 12 p.m., INEC National Commissioner Festus Okoye said that collation would resume at 2 p.m.
Although data from five states are currently available, Okoye said that the commission anticipated at least ten more states to participate in today’s collation.
On Sunday, the process of compiling the state results began. Collation on Monday had concluded a few minutes after 10 o’clock.
Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC National Chairman, had postponed the collation until Tuesday at 11 a.m. to allow the state collation officers for the presidential election (SCOPs) in the remaining states to complete their work.
