Declaration of results.
Once the counting of votes is complete in a presidential election or a referendum, the senior
electoral commissions of constituencies shall send the National Electoral Commission a report
on the count result together with any ballot papers disputed within the senior electoral
commission or between it and agents.
When the National Electoral Commission has received the documents from senior electoral
commissions, it shall publicise with a 14 days’ notice where and when it will convene to make
rulings on the validity of disputed ballot papers and declare the result of the election in order
that the presidential candidates and agents, as the case may be, have the opportunity to be
present.
Thereafter, the National Electoral Commission announces the results of the presidential
election or referendum and publishes the results.
