A Civil Society Organisation, Yiaga Africa, on Thursday, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to be intentional in averting and reducing post-election violence that may occur because of result computation across the country.
A pre-election report by the Administrative and Finance Officer, Daniel Mkpume, tagged ‘2023: Exploring Professional Training on Election Results Collation’, obtained by our correspondent in Abuja, noted that since the introduction of the INEC Result Viewing Portal, a total of 128, 994 accounts had been opened by IReV users. The report said these numbers would increase in 2023 as more Nigerians will be interested in the outcome of the elections at every polling unit.
It partly read, “There is no doubt that election is basically a game of numbers determined by eligible citizens who turn out to vote on election day and thus any act either by omission or commission that leads to the slightest mistake in collation of election results could potentially jeopardise the process.
“As stated by the chairman of INEC, Professor Yakubu Mahmood in his keynote address on the occasion of the release of the Election Result Analysis Dashboard report in Abuja ‘We also encourage other organisations to partner with INEC on this or other aspects of the electoral process and to assure you of our willingness to collaborate towards making our electoral process what we all aspire to make it, participatory, secure, transparent, credible and verifiable’.
