Edo governorship election: We are leading in results – APC claims
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has claimed the party is comfortably in an early lead, as results continue to trickle in the 2024 Edo governorship election.
In a statement on Saturday night, APC said its attention has been drawn to some reports circulating in sections of social media by unnamed political parties peddling bogus figures of vote tallies.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, urged members of the public to disregard what it called attempted misrepresentation and await INEC’s final verdict on the election.
According to the party, collation of election results at the ward level was still ongoing and has yet to be concluded.
Morka, therefore, maintained that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is the sole authorised body empowered to officially declare the result of the election.
“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to some reports circulating in sections of social media by certain political parties peddling bogus figures of vote tallies in the ongoing Edo State gubernatorial election.
“We urge the Edo State electorate and the general public to disregard these bogus and highly speculative reports.
“Our great party is comfortably in an early lead, however, as a responsible party, we will not attempt to preempt INEC’s conclusion of the election process and official declaration of final results,” part of the statement read.
