The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has started posting the results of the Houses of Assembly and governorship elections from this past Saturday on its IReV (INEC Election Result Viewer) platform for Nigerians to see.
The poll on Saturday was held in 28 of the federation’s 36 states, according to PRISTINEGIST.
Only 11 of the 28 states with elections had governors running for reelection for a second term; the remaining 17 departed governors must serve out their eight-year constitutional term limits by May 29, 2023, after which they may run for other political positions if they are still interested in politics.
