The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had uploaded 37% of Osun state gubernatorial election results to its results viewing portal, popularly known as the IReV.
A check by DAILY POST at exactly 5.27pm indicated that the commission is keeping to its earlier promise to upload the election results to the IReV.
Recall that voters across Osun State today voted for the next occupant of the Bola Ige Government House for a four-year term.
A total of 15 political parties are on the ballot, with incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party.
Two candidates, Adesina Adeyemi-Doro of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Simon Adewale of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), had announced their withdrawal from the contest.
While Adeyemi-Doro endorsed APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji, Adewale declared support for Adeleke. Both APGA and APM, however, remain on the ballot.
DAILY POST had earlier reported that Adeleke secured victory in his first polling unit, with the Accord Party winning Polling Unit 026, Ward 5, in Osogbo Local Government Area.
According to the result declared by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the Accord Party polled 57 votes, while the All Progressives Congress, APC, scored 43 votes.
Results from other polling units across the state have continued to trickle in as collation progresses.
The election has, however, been marred by reports of intimidation, vote-buying and other forms of electoral violence in some areas, although voting has proceeded successfully in many parts of the state.
Osun decides: INEC uploads 37 per cent of election results to IReV
