The Independent National Electoral Commission on Sunday said over 170,000 polling unit results of the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections have been uploaded on its Result Viewing Portal.
INEC National Commissioner, Festus Okoye, stated this on Channels Television’s Programme, Sunday Politics.
“As you are aware, we are reconfiguring the Bimodal Voter Registration Systems for purposes of the governorship and state assembly elections, and any BVAS that was used for the Presidential and National Assembly elections that do not push to the accreditation backend, the data relating to the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections will not be reconfigured.
“In fact, the BVAS will not allow itself to be reconfigured or reset if the entire data is not pushed to the accreditation backend.
“I’m sure that by Tuesday when we hope to complete the resettling of the BVAS for the purposes of the governorship and state assembly elections, the results in all the places where elections were conducted would have been pushed to the accreditation backend.”
Okoye said every Nigerian has the constitutional and legal right to protest. However, he said no political party will be allowed to look into the brain of the BVAS or the biometrics of voters.
He noted that INEC is the regulator of political parties and the commission won’t abdicate its core responsibility to aggrieved political parties.
