The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has charged Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to honour his promise to upload the election results of the Imo, Kogi, and Bayelsa governorship elections on the commission’s Result Viewing Portal, IReV.
Addressing a news conference, on Sunday, in Abuja, Mr. Debo Ologunagba, PDP National Publicity scribe, said his Party had taken note of a statement attributed to Prof. Yakubu where he reportedly promised that INEC would make full use of its Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the IReV portal for uploading and electronic transmission of the results.

“The PDP notes that the INEC chairman has confirmed the use of BVAS and IREV in this election and even in previous election is a mandatory statutory requirement of the law,” Ologunagba said.
“The PDP holds Yakubu directly responsible and accountable to his pronouncements and that INEC is bound by law to electronically transmit results directly from the polling units using these technologies.
“The PDP is fully prepared for these elections and in line with the commitment of INEC will not accept any other means of transmitting results in these elections except as this manner pronounced by the INEC Chairman in line with requirement of Electoral Act, 2022.”
