The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has postponed the collation of the results of the 2023 presidential election till 6 p.

The 2023 presidential election has been a tight battle between the candidates of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

The election was expected to have ended at every polling unit where the electoral umpire had extended the exercise for varying reasons.

Results are also expected to have been declared at polling units, wards, and local government areas.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, had yesterday announced that collation would commence at noon on Sunday.

However, in a press briefing to declare the collation open, Yakubu said it would commence at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Until then, it is expected that unverified results will continue to make the rounds on social media.
