There were myriads of inconsistencies in the results of the November 11, 2023 elections of Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa States

The Kimpact Development Initiative, KDI, has in a recent report revealed that there were myriads of inconsistencies in the results of the November 11, 2023 elections of Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa States as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Presenting the document to journalists in Abuja, the Team Lead of KDI, Bukola Idowu, said the report carried out under the Ballot Integrity Project analysed the election results data available on the IReV and evaluated the overall integrity of the electoral process in the 2023 Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi States off-cycle governorship elections.

The non-governmental organisation, which advances good governance and democratic rights, also said the irregularities in figures suggested a high scale of misappropriation in Nigeria’s electoral system.

However, in a swift response, INEC insisted that it conducted a free, fair and credible elections in the three states, and stressed that there were gaps in the contents of the report as presented by KDI.
