Supporters of PDP protested against the collation of the Edo governorship election results in Benin, the state capital.
The demonstration took place near the headquarters of the INEC, where the results were being collated.
Earlier in the day, some PDP members gathered outside the collation centre, accusing INEC of manipulating the election outcome.
Tony Iyoha, a PDP agent at the collation centre, also alleged electoral fraud, claiming that some results were “manufactured.”
“It’s what we have been reduced to as Nigerians, where people go out to vote, and after exercising their franchise, you come out and manufacture results,” he said.
CSOs express concern, say collation disruptions affect result credibility
Some accredited civil society organizations monitoring the election, yesterday, expressed concern over transparency in the collation of the poll results.
The concerns were contained in a statement jointly signed by Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room, Yiaga Africa, Kimpact Development Initiative, Nigerian Women Trust Fund, ElectHER, TAF Africa, and the Centre For Democracy & Development, CDD West-Africa.
