The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has managed to upload only 19 percent of the presidential election results from the northwest geopolitical zone to its result viewing portal on Sunday. 

FIJ checked the INEC results viewing (iReV) portal on Sunday evening and found that about 81 percent of the presidential results from Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states were missing over 24 hours after the election. 

There are 4522 polling units in Jigawa State’s 27 local government areas (LGAs) but only 1764 polling units had their results uploaded on iReV at the time FIJ checked. This is 39 percent of the total results from Jigawa. 

INEC has uploaded no result from Kazaure LGA’s 144 polling units in Jigawa to iReV.
