Each figure says what has happened to it. Reported is not checked, and checked is not declared.

The headline and the LGA figures disagree.

  • Biodun Oyebanji: headline 319.2k, checked and declared units sum to 319.2k. Gap +1.
  • Oluwole Oluyede: headline 40.5k, checked and declared units sum to 40.5k. Gap +20.

Shown rather than hidden: two independently entered numbers that should agree, and do not yet.

Becoming is not INEC. INEC remains the statutory authority for declaring results; what is marked declared here is what INEC has declared, as sourced. How we keep the two apart.
