The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed claims by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) alleging possible manipulations of the online pre-registration exercise for the continuous voter registration.
Chief Press Secretary boy the Chairman of the Commission, Rotimi Oyekunmi dismissed the claims by the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC that number of pre-registrants in Osun State defies “historical patterns and demographic realities”, saying “Nothing can be further from the truth”.
He said if the party had been careful enough to do due diligence on available records, they would have realised that Osun state had always led the online pre-registration exercise since it was first introduced.
Rotimi said: “The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to a press statement attributed to the spokesperson of a political party on the data published by the Commission on the online pre-registration of voters. In particular, the statement claimed that the number of pre-registrants in Osun State defies “historical patterns and demographic realities.” Nothing can be further from the truth.
“It will be recalled that the Commission rolled out the online pre-registration of voters on 18th August 2025, followed by in-person registration on 25th August 2025. In its usual tradition, the Commission released the data of online pre- registrations from 18th to 24th August, totalling 1,379,342.
