According to the commission, although the glitch did not impact the accuracy of the presidential election results, precautionary measures have been implemented to prevent a recurrence in future elections.

Sam Olumekun, the INEC National Commissioner overseeing the Information and Voter Education Committee, highlighted that the 526-page report, organized into 13 chapters and enriched with 60 tables, 14 boxes, and 10 graphs, provides a thorough analysis of the election’s essential processes, accomplishments, challenges, and valuable insights gained.

“The Report highlights the election’s unprecedented party diversity, signifying significant democratic advancement. This election witnessed the victory of four political parties in gubernatorial races, seven in senatorial seats, eight in federal constituencies, and nine in State legislatures, indicating a widespread shift in political representation across Nigeria,” he explained.

The report acknowledged the unique challenge faced during the upload of Polling Units presidential election results on iREV after the presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25, 2023. As voting concluded nationwide and Presiding Officers initiated the upload process of PU result sheets, reports emerged around 4:00 pm that attempts to upload presidential election result sheets were unsuccessful.

During troubleshooting, the commission determined that there were no issues with uploading the PU result sheets of the Senate and House of Representatives elections through the Election Result Modules. However, difficulties arose in uploading presidential election results to the system, with attempts generating internal server errors—an issue typically stemming from within an application due to configuration problems, permissions, or challenges in creating or accessing application resources correctly.
