The Ekiti State governorship election results are now being collated from all 177 wards across the 16 local government areas. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials have confirmed that the tallying process is ongoing, with early leads emerging from major political parties.
Collation Process Underway
According to INEC returning officers, the results from various polling units are being verified and aggregated at the ward collation centres before being forwarded to the local government level. The process is expected to continue through the night, with final results anticipated within 48 hours.
As of the latest updates, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are showing strong performances in several key local government areas. However, no official declaration has been made by INEC.
Security and Observers
Security operatives have been deployed across the state to ensure a peaceful collation process. Election observers from both local and international organisations are monitoring the tallying to ensure transparency.
“The process has been largely peaceful and orderly,” said a representative of the Civil Society Organisation (CSO). “We are observing the collation and will report any irregularities.”
Voter Turnout
Initial reports indicate a moderate voter turnout across the state, with some areas recording higher participation than others. INEC has urged all stakeholders to remain patient as the results are being processed.
