The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, says the commission is set to transmit the 2023 poll results in real-time from 176,846 polling units across the country.
Yakubu said, “On the issue of access to connectivity for the transmission of poll results, we are in touch with the Nigerian Communications Commission-the regulator of the telecoms industry in the country- and we have already identified the blind spots. In fact, on Tuesday at 11am, we are going to meet with the NCC and the chief executives of the four mobile network operators to further discuss this issue of access to connectivity.
He further explained, “Let me use this opportunity to say that this is not the first time we are transmitting poll results in real-time from the polling units. We started this on August 8, 2020, and since then, we have conducted off-cycle and bye-elections for 105 constituencies; and we have transmitted from all parts of the country.
The commission chair also explained that INEC auditors had audited the accounts of political parties for the past years, assuring that the results would be made known very soon.
