There are high expectations in Port Harcourt and other parts of Rivers State as voters and residents await the outcome of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission failed to upload results from the various polling units across the 23 local government areas of the state.
As of 7 to 8 pm on Saturday, elections were still held in some polling units.
The Bi-modal Voters Accreditation machines malfunctioned in many areas, including Governor Nyesom Wike’s Ward 9, Unit 7 in Rumuiprikon, Obio/Akpor LHA of the state.
The heavy downpour and lightning during the voting hours on Saturday also led to voters seeking shelter and later returning to their polling units.
As of 12pm on Sunday, a day after the election, no result has been uploaded by INEC.
