By Sabiu Abdullahi
The Independent National Electoral Commission has uploaded 2,897 polling unit results from the Osun State governorship election to its Result Viewing Portal.
The figure represents 76.99 per cent of the 3,763 results expected from polling units across the state.
As of 7:24pm on Saturday, checks on the portal showed that the number of uploaded results had risen from 2,266, representing 60.22 per cent, recorded about an hour earlier.
The latest upload was recorded at 7:21:09pm from polling unit 29/08/08/001 in Ife North Local Government Area.
The uploads came as the collation of results continued across the 30 local government areas of the state.
The election is being closely monitored through the IReV platform, which allows polling unit results to be accessed by the public as they are uploaded.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party is seeking another term in office against the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji; the African Democratic Congress candidate, Najeem Salaam; and other contenders.
The commission’s Result Stats section showed continuous updates as more results were uploaded from polling units. Users can refresh the portal to view the latest figures.
The development comes as voters, political parties and election observers await the completion of the result collation process and the eventual declaration of the winner.
