Yiaga Africa, CSOs Fault Edo Election Results, Demand INEC Review
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), which monitored the Edo State governorship election on Saturday, have issued a damning review of the exercise, declaring that the results from several polling units were altered at coalition centres.
The civil society coalition, the Situation Room, said the conduct of the election lacked credibility.
Similarly, Yiaga Africa, which said it deployed the Process and Results Verification for Transparency (PRVT) methodology for the Edo election, involving 300 stationary and 25 roving observers, covering a representative sample of polling units (PUs) across all 18 local government areas of the state, faulted the conduct of the poll and the declared results as lacking integrity.
Yiaga Africa, one of the accredited observers of Saturday’s off-cycle governorship election, discredited the election on account of widespread irregularities that included alteration of results by the collation officers.
The CSOs called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to review the results based on what was uploaded on the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal, within the time stipulated by section 65 of the Electoral Act 2022.
