The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared a
four-hour recess in the collation of results of the presidential election,
which will herald the declaration of the country’s president-election.
According to Attahiru
Jega, the recess was announced to give adequate time to other
state returning officers “currently on their way to Abuja”.
Jega said the collation
session would reconvene at 8pm.
Meanwhile, the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in early lead.
INEC has announced
results for 8 states and the FCT, Abuja - (total 9) and so far PDP is leading
with 2,332,734 votes while APC has 2,302,978 votes.
The commission has
reconvened till 8pm tonight to allow sufficient time for other states to bring
in their results. We are still expecting results for 27 states.
We will continue by
8pm. Stay tuned!
