Counting of the ballot papers has commenced in different states across the country and was still continuing into the late hours of Saturday, even as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended voting until Sunday, March 29, in states where card readers failed.
UPDATE: Attahiru Jega, the INEC chairman, took part in a press conference in the evening of March 29, 2015, Sunday.
The key quotes from the event regarding the announcement of the results are given below:
“We will use the same collation method we used in 2011 for this election.”
“We will not commence collation unless stakeholders are informed. The media will be there when we start collation.”
“We don’t know if we will do collation tonight or tomorrow. When they come we will take them in batches.”
“As I speak, very very few results have been collated. The info we have is that only 2 states have finished collation.”
“We are not under any pressure to declare elections inconclusive.”
“We will release results as soon as they are processed, within 48 hours, as promised, countdown started on Saturday’s eve.”
“It is only the INEC that can make the final declaration of the winners of the election.”
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RESULT BELOW IS NOT THE FINAL RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS, AS IT COULD BE UPDATED ANYTIME
Results from different local government areas across the country so far.
LAGOS STATE
Buhari (APC) 444 273.
Jonathan (PDP) 300 836
The collation of results of Saturday’s election in Lagos is still ongoing at the various collation centres across the state. At the state INEC secretariat in Yaba, few people are seen moving around in the premises. But there are over a dozen armed security agents stationed around the secretariat. An official said the place would become a beehive of activities in the evening when final results from all the centers would start coming in.
OGUN STATE
Ogun state preliminary results: Buhari (APC) 120 034
Jonathan (PDP) 84 435
