INEC pledges to investigate alleged irregularities in Edo State election. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has addressed allegations of discrepancies in the Edo State governorship election result sheets. The commission has committed to investigating and resolving any irregularities reported during the voting process.
Concerns arose on Saturday when reports indicated that the number of accredited voters in some polling units was lower than the total votes recorded. This discrepancy has sparked widespread unease among political stakeholders and observers.
INEC acknowledged these concerns in a statement released on social media. According to the commission, it has received two complaints out of the 4,519 polling units in the state, specifically regarding incorrect figures entered into the polling unit result sheets.
“The Commission’s attention has been drawn to an allegation of wrong figures entered into polling unit result sheets in the ongoing Edo State Governorship election,” INEC stated.
INEC has assured the public that it will promptly investigate the matter and take appropriate action if any infractions are confirmed. This development comes as the electoral body strives to maintain the integrity of the voting process in the state.
