Osun poll: INEC resumes IReV upload after hours-long pause

The governorship election is being contested by the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and other candidates.

Voters, political parties, and election observers have continued to monitor the IReV portal, which INEC introduced to improve transparency in the electoral process by enabling the public to view polling unit results in real time as they are uploaded.
