Ekiti Election : INEC’s results accurate, says TMG A coalition of over 400 civic organisations under the aegis of the Transition Monitoring Group has verified the final results of the Ekiti State governorship election as released by the Independent National Electoral Commission. This was contained in its preliminary statement on the Ekiti gubernatorial elections which was made to newsmen in Abuja, on Monday. Chairman of the TMG, Mr. Ibrahim Zikirullahi, who presented the report, said that based on reports collated from citizen observers; the group found the Ekiti gubernatorial election as well conducted. According to him, polling units generally opened on time and polling officials followed the proscribed procedures. He said, “Ekiti was a significant logistical improvement over the Anambra gubernatorial election. “Further, drawing on official results independently compiled from a representative random sample of polling units, TMG can independently verify that the official results announced by INEC accurately reflect the ballots. “Voters and contestants can have confidence that the INEC results are a true reflection of the will of the voters of Ekiti state.” Zikirullahi explained that the TMG deployed a total of 325 observers for the Ekiti gubernatorial election. Of this number, 25 were mobile supervisors who moved around the state and 300 were assigned to specific polling units.
