LP, PDP stage a walkout as political parties clash with INEC over results

The political parties are at loggerheads over the Independent National Electoral Commission result declaration.

During the live broadcast of the result presentation at the National Collation Centre in Abuja on Monday, February 27, some political parties refused the presentation over claims of over voting.

The All Progressives Congress however, denounced alliance with the other parties who disagree with the INEC results.

Prior to this, the PDP spokesperson, Dino Melaye earlier challenged the INEC boss, Professor Mahmood Yakubu over the failure of the commission to upload the data announced onto the portal as promised.

This brought about a suspension of the presentation in Abuja.

Upon return, the disgruntled political parties staged a walk out from the national collation centre following dissatisfaction of INECs explanation.

According to the parties, INEC has refused to address their plight after petitioning the commission on the matter.
