Anambra Guber: INEC upload over 75% election results on IREV
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released 75.86% of the results from the ongoing Anambra State governorship election on its Result Viewing Portal (IReV).
A review by Very Nigerian on the IReV portal at 5:10 p.m. on Saturday showed that results from 4,339 polling units had been uploaded out of the 5,720 polling units where voting took place across the South-East state.
This update comes just four hours after the polls concluded across all 21 local government areas of Anambra State.
The election, which began around 8 am, was peaceful across the state. However, there were reports or incidents of vote-buying low turnout of voters.
Several candidates including incumbent Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Nicholas Ukachukwu among others also alleged vote-buying.
“The only thing we hear that is actually a concern, and we hope won’t happen, is that one party (he laughs) has written results to swap during the collation process,” Soludo said after casting his vote.
“We hear they have even had meetings with INEC not to upload the results so that they can have the opportunity to manipulate the results.”
Meanwhile, Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), expressed a similar sentiment, alleging irregularities in the election.
“By selling your vote, you’re selling away your schools, your hospitals, your jobs; you’re selling away your future. That is what is very worrisome. In other countries, even in West African nations close to us, where I’ve observed elections, I didn’t see such practices. So, for journalists, you must cooperate; this must be stopped,” Obi said.
An observer with the Situation Room, Dimma Nwobi, equally reported cases of vote-buying.
INEC said 2,802,790 registered voters were expected. Sixteen candidates are contesting, including Governor Soludo (APGA), Ukachukwu, Paul Chukwuma (YPP), George Moghalu (LP), and Jude Ezenwafor (PDP) among others.
