The Electoral Commission has urged the general public to exercise patience, and to follow the Commission’s periodic announcements as the results come in.

The Commission has promised to keep updating the public as has been done over the past 24 hours.

The Commission also called on both permanent and temporary staff across the country, particularly at the Constituency Collation Centres, to stand firm and carry out their duties as expected of them.

The Commission, in a brief statement, also urged the agents of the political parties to cooperate with the staff of the Commission to ensure smooth collation and transmission of results at both the constituency and regional levels.

The Commission further assured the Public that whatever results that will be collated at the Constituency and Regional Collation Centres and transmitted to the National Collation Centre, is what will be collated and declared by the Returning Officer of the Presidential Election, in the person of the Chairperson of the Commission, Mrs. Jean Mensa.
