The Lagos INEC collation centre has suspended the announcement of the presidential result after 117 out of 20 LGAs and exercise resumes at 10 am on Monday.
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has been dragging the state maintaining a lead by 1000 votes ahead of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Tinubu with APC polling 447,187 while Labour Party polled 448,878 in 17 local government areas of the State.
INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje opened the floor at the state collation centre in the Yaba area of the state on Sunday and the collation ran until midnight on Monday.
The results for 17 of the state’s 20 LGAs presented by 3:40 am on Monday including Lagos Mainland, Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos Island, Badagry, Agege, Ikeja, Shomolu, Kosofe, Amuwo Odofin, Eti Osa, Surulere, Apapa, Ifako Ijaiye, Ajeromi, Oshodi Isolo.
Results presented for Mushin LGA have yet to get cleared by the state collation officer as they are being contested by the Inter-party Advisory Committee (IPAC) and thus had yet to be signed by most party agents.
INEC asked that they be presented afresh.
Meanwhile, Ojo and Alimosho are the only two LGAs left to be announced. The REC in the state is expected to reconvene later on Monday for the final collation of results.
