Since morning, there have been screenshots of a supposed gazetted results of the 2020 parliamentary results circulating on social media.
Below is a copy of one of such results:
Well, the Electoral Commission has come out with a statement that those results in circulation are not authentic, urging the public to disregard it.
EC claims the situation is a calculated scheme to mislead the public and discredit the commission.
“The Electoral Commission’s attention has been drawn to a document being mischievously shared on social media purporting to be the Gazzetted results of the 2020 Parliamentary Elections. The document is not authentic and should be disregarded.”, they said in the statement.
In continuation, the EC wrote: “The Gazzetted results of the 2020 Parliamentary Elections can be purchased at the Assembly Press.
“The General Public should not place any premium on the document circulating on social media since it is false. This is calculated to mislead the public and discredit the Commission.”
