2023 - what happened in Bayelsa
In the February 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi recorded 49,975 votes in Bayelsa, drawn from 320,758 accredited voters at 2,244 polling units. Turnout - at 30.3% - reflected the same nationwide pattern of voter suppression, BVAS hiccups, and last-mile logistics failures that INEC has since been pushed to address ahead of 2027.
The 2027 push in Bayelsa starts with three priorities: getting first-time voters onto the register, training agents at every polling unit, and ensuring results upload from BVAS to the IReV portal in real time. Your support powers all three.
