**FCT Election Results Now Live on INEC's IReV Portal: What You Need to Know**
As the dust settles on the just-concluded FCT Council polls, Nigerians can now access the results of the election on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) results viewing portal, IReV. The development marks a significant step in the nation's electoral process, where the integrity and transparency of the results can be verified in real-time.
In line with the commission's promise to ensure a seamless and efficient process, the upload of results began hours after the elections were conducted across the six local councils in the FCT. At the time of checks on Saturday evening, the results were slowly trickling in, with the Kwali chairmanship election being the most advanced, with 56.72% of the results uploaded. Gwagwalada area council was also making good progress, with 65.68% of the results uploaded.
In addition to the FCT election results, INEC is also uploading the results of the Kano and Rivers State bye-elections on the IReV portal. This development is a testament to the commission's commitment to ensuring that election outcomes are freely accessible to the public, thereby promoting accountability and trust in the electoral process.
The introduction of the IReV portal is a significant step forward in Nigeria's electoral journey, as it aligns with global best practices in election management. It is expected to not only boost public confidence in the electoral process but also provide a platform for citizens to engage with the commission and track the progress of election results.
As Nigerians continue to follow the updates on the IReV portal, it is essential to note that this development is a significant milestone in our nation's journey towards electoral transparency and accountability. With this innovation, the public can now have real-time access to election results, which can help to mitigate the risk of disputes and promote a more inclusive electoral process.
