The Labour Party (LP), Nasarawa state chapter, has called on party supporters across the state to remain calm over Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) delay in uploading election results.
Mr Alex Emmanuel, LP State Chairman, made the appeal at a press conference on Sunday in Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital.
Emmanuel called on INEC to, as a matter of urgency, upload election results as earlier promised before the 2023 election.
According to him, INEC’s delay to upload election results has called for concern among Nigerians, especially party supporters in Nasarawa.
“Based on the reports we are receiving from our polling agents across the 13 local government areas of the state that the results have not been uploading in the server is the reason for this press conference.
“INEC said it will make sure that election results are transmitted electronically in this year’s election but since yesterday the election results are yet to be uploaded into the server.
“We are concerned and afraid that election results can be manipulated if the results cannot be uploaded from the polling unit, how can the results be transmitted from the collation centre,” he said.
Emmanuel, however, commended INEC for bringing innovation in this year’s election, especially the use of Bimodal Voters Accreditation System, and thanked security personnel for maintaining law and order.
The party chairman also thanked the people of Nasarawa state for coming out en masse to vote for the Labour Party to make Nigeria great again.(NAN)
