Yiaga Africa has comprehensively assessed the September 2024 Edo State Governorship Election using its Process and Results Verification for Transparency (PRVT) methodology. Our 325 observers monitored polling units across all 18 LGAs, identifying critical issues that compromised the integrity of the election. While some processes, such as voting and counting, showed substantial compliance, serious irregularities in the results collation process have raised significant concerns. Yiaga Africa calls for urgent electoral reforms and thorough investigations into the manipulations observed. This assessment underscores the need for a renewed commitment to transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s electoral system.
