2015 Election Results To Be Announced Within 48 Hours – INEC

The Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), has reiterated its determination to announce the results of the presidential and governorship elections within 48 hours after voting.
INEC’s National Commissioner, Hajiya Amina Zakari, gave the assurance last Saturday in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi, during a public sensitisation and practical demonstration of accreditation and election processes.
Zakari said that the demonstration was to enable the commission to make amendments in areas of difficulty.
According to her, the demonstration will also enable electoral officers to be familiar with the process of accreditation and smooth election.
She appealed to registered voters to ensure they were in queue on time for accreditation, assuring them that collation of votes would be done properly after voting.
She said that with the new modifications, the 2015 general elections would be free, transparent and fair.
Zakari said that changes in the date of the election had enabled the commission to perfect the process.
“The commission would treat observations and ensure smooth conduct of the election proper and to avoid hitches and criticisms,” he said.
She also promised that adequate security would be provided at all stages of the elections, saying the working relationship between INEC and security agencies is cordial.
