The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun uploading polling unit results from the Osun governorship election to its Result Viewing Portal (IReV).
As of 6pm on Saturday, checks by AASG MAGAZINE showed that 2183 results had been submitted to the portal out of the 3,763 expected polling unit results across the state.
The uploads followed the conclusion of voting and counting at several polling units as collation of results got underway across Osun’s 30 LGAs.
IReV is INEC’s online platform for publishing scanned copies of polling unit result sheets, allowing voters, political parties, candidates, observers and other stakeholders to independently view results as they are uploaded.
The commission had scheduled the close of voting for 2:30pm, although voters who were already on the queue by the deadline were allowed to complete accreditation and cast their ballots.
Before the electronic uploads commenced, photographs of result sheets from various polling units had begun circulating among political parties, observers and voters.
The pace of the uploads had earlier drawn the attention of David Adeleke, the afrobeats singer popularly known as Davido, who called on INEC to make the results available on IReV without delay.
In a series tweets on X, Davido said timely publication of the results was necessary to promote transparency in the electoral process.
