Ondo election: INEC uploads 93.26% of results on IREV

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has uploaded 93.26% of the results from the Ondo State governorship election to its Result Viewing Portal (IREV).

Out of the 3,933 polling units where the governorship election was held, results from 3,668 polling units have been made available online as of 7:21 p.m. on Saturday, November 16, 2024.

The key contenders in the gubernatorial election are Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Abbas Mimiko of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).

Ajayi had earlier expressed displeasure at the conduct of the election at Kiribo in the Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The PDP governorship candidate said it took more than 10 minutes for the INEC’s BVAS to capture him.

The former deputy governor said: “The system is not perfect and there are lots of complainants here and there.

Heavy security greets Ondo governorship election

“The system has been compromised. It is sad that INEC can’t conduct election properly in one state.

“If INEC cannot successfully organise an election in just one state, then you must know that we are running into anarchy.

“I think it is deliberate on the part of INEC, on the part of the Resident Electoral Commission (REC).

“And we have said it severally that we don’t trust Barr. Oluwatoyin Babalola (REC). That this woman cannot be fair.

“The system is compromised and we have a series of calls made by everybody. People are complaining of vote buying, BVAS problem. It is a very shameful exercise.”

The operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) also arrested a suspected vote-buyer at Ward 4, Polling Unit 007 outside St. Stephen’s Primary School in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The suspected vote-buyer was nabbed with two bags of money which were suspected to be for the inducement of voters in the gubernatorial election.
