A pre-filled election result sheet posted by Yiaga Africa has allocated 200 votes to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the ongoing governorship election in Kogi State.
Yiaga Africa, a non-profit pro-democracy group, posted the result sheet via its X handle on Saturday.
Voting had not commenced when votes were found written on the official paper at Polling Unit 004, Eni Ward of Ogori/Magongo, in the state, according to Yiaga.

Enantomhen Andrew, a Facebook user, posted a video an hour ago showing voters speaking in their local dialect. A short message posted with the video read, “Ogori Magongo in Kogi State, electorate have asked INEC to either present them with a clean result sheet or leave their community.”
INEC had yet to respond to Yiaga’s post at press time.
