The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed 12 noon on Monday for collation of results of the presidential and parliamentary election held across the country on Saturday and Sunday. Making the announcement at the INEC headquarters in Abuja on Sunday, Nick Dazang, head, media and publicity of INEC said journalists were invited to cover it.
Earlier, while speaking to journalists, Jega had reiterated the commission’s resolve to announce the result of the election within 48 hours.
“In 2011 we declared the results within 48 hours, and we want to improve on that,” he said. “We have been working assiduously to beat that record. We hope to declare it within 48 hours.”
He also disclosed that results had been collated in two states, including Ekiti, but explained that the actual tabulation of the results would not start until the resident electoral commissioners of each states were present at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
