Political parties and civil society groups will confront the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over the Commission's administrative decision not to allow public viewing of real-time results of voting units across the country during the 2023 general election. Intels News can attest to this with authority.
INEC has already announced that it will upload all results to IREV, the INEC Results Visualization Portal. Document, set out strict measures in line with conducting free, fair and credible elections next year.
The guarantee we want is that voting session results will be uploaded and Nigerians should have public access in real time. This is the only way to avoid any form of compromise at district level.
When asked if such a move would not be open to compromise between the voting unit and the district level in the meantime, adding to doubts in the minds of agents and people in the 176,846 voting units who have already done so when he made the Hearing and seeing results released on the voting unit, the INEC source insisted that "everything the Commission does is in the best interests of the Nigerian people."
