The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials arrived at 78 per cent of the 300 polling units being observed by Yiaga Africa in the Osun State governorship election by 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.
Yiaga, through its Watching the Vote (WTV) Working Group, said its observers reported the arrival of INEC officials at 251 of the 300 polling units being monitored for the Osun State governorship election.
“By 8:30 a.m., INEC officials had arrived at 78% of the 300 polling units where our #WatchingTheVote observers are reporting from,” the organisation said in a statement shared on Saturday.
The organisation said the figures provide an early indication of preparedness and the pace of commencement of electoral activities across the polling units under observation.
“This provides an early snapshot of the pace of preparations across the polling units being observed,” Yiaga Africa said.
