Supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have staged a protest at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Benin City against the ongoing collation of results from the recent governorship election in Edo State.

The protests erupted as the All Progressives Congress (APC), the major opposition party, appears to be leading in the election based on preliminary results released by INEC.

According to an X post by Channels TV, PDP supporters expressed their dissatisfaction with the election process, claiming that the results are being manipulated in favour of the APC.
