Independent National Electoral Commission says it’s not true that it has withdrawn the passwords for the upload of election results to the INEC Election Result viewing portal from its presiding officers.
INEC in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman, Rotimi Oyekunmi, said that passwords for the upload of results have been securely released to the Presiding Officers in accordance with the practice of the electoral body.
The statement read, “The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission has been drawn to a story attributed to unknown “concerned workers” of the Commission that passwords for result upload have been withdrawn from LGA Supervisors for use by APO1s in Imo State. This is untrue.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Presiding Officers (POs), and not APO1s (Assistant Presiding Officers 1) are responsible for result upload to the IReV.
“All the passwords have been securely released for use by designated officials in line with the Commission’s procedure.”
