By geopolitical demarcation, the northeast has 6 states, namely: Bauchi, Yobe, Adamawa, Borno, Taraba and Gombe. The states boast of 23,864 voting units created by INEC.

FIJ looked at the progress of result uploads on the online portal and found that only the results from 5,308 polling units were available at about 2:30 pm on Monday.

The Electoral Act (2022) provides for electronic transmission of results. Hence, interested Nigerians, political parties, and local and international monitoring groups are gathering election data from the portal.

FIJ earlier reported that political parties’ agents walked out of the International Conference Centre, the venue of the national collation, partly on the premise that a lot of results were not available on IReV.
