The EC8D reproduction
The state values reproduce the collation result for the four named parties. Grade B reflects a corroborated table without a direct scanned EC8D form in the current register.
Final state result · North East · Two-layer record
Borno 2023 presidential election result
The reproduced Borno EC8D collation records APC first with 252,282 votes and PDP second with 190,921. The declared margin was 61,361 votes. Mundx presents that state declaration beside, but never merged with, a four-party polling-unit research layer.
Result of record: the reproduced state collation. Research evidence: selected PU observations for APC, LP, PDP and NNPP under a documented policy.
Borno reconciliation
Declared totals beside selected PU observations
The declared four-party collation totals 455,034. The canonical PU layer totals 418,582, which is 92.0% of the declared figure and 36,452 below it.
| Party / scope | Declared collation | PU rollup | Declared minus PU | PU as % declared |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APC | 252,282 | 224,624 | +27,658 | 89.0% |
| LP | 7,205 | 10,340 | -3,135 | 143.5% |
| PDP | 190,921 | 166,177 | +24,744 | 87.0% |
| NNPP | 4,626 | 17,441 | -12,815 | 377.0% |
| Four-party total | 455,034 | 418,582 | +36,452 | 92.0% |
The difference is descriptive, not causal. “Declared minus canonical PU” equals +36,452 for the four tracked parties. It must not be relabelled as missing votes, invalid votes or fraud: the two layers were created at different stages, and the available record does not establish a single cause.

Polling-unit rollups across 27 Borno LGAs
These rows are calculated from selected polling-unit records, not declared LGA collation totals. APC leads 22 and PDP leads 5 of the 27 local rollups. Each LGA name opens its permanent place page with ward and polling-unit context.

Largest local rollups
Five LGAs in Borno context
The notes restate the largest local aggregations in prose so their leader, margin and evidence coverage remain legible outside the table. A PU-layer lead is not an official LGA declaration.
- Maiduguri M. C.: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 41,584 votes, 8,084 ahead of PDP. The local total is 85,804 across 886 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Jere: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 17,461 votes, 2,699 ahead of PDP. The local total is 33,699 across 386 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Biu: PDP leads the selected four-party rollup with 16,543 votes, 2,411 ahead of APC. The local total is 32,118 across 270 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Askira / Uba: PDP leads the selected four-party rollup with 14,392 votes, 4,738 ahead of APC. The local total is 26,502 across 260 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Hawul: PDP leads the selected four-party rollup with 13,976 votes, 4,882 ahead of APC. The local total is 24,925 across 215 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
Reading the Borno record
One contest, two evidence layers
The canonical PU layer
All 5,071 polling units in the inventory have a selected four-party observation. Representation does not authenticate each observation, restore the other fourteen parties or reproduce later collation decisions.
The LGA evidence directory
Maiduguri M. C. has the largest local rollup at 85,804. In Gwoza, PDP leads APC by 1,097 in the closest proportional margin.
Coverage needs a denominator. The least complete local record is Abadam at 100.0% of its inventory. Cite represented and inventory counts when an LGA has unresolved records. Full representation still does not make the rollup an official declaration.
Questions this page answers
Borno result notes
Who led Borno in the declared result?
APC led with 252,282 votes. PDP followed on 190,921, a margin of 61,361. The four tracked parties total 455,034; that subtotal is not the complete eighteen-party vote.
What does the local pattern show?
APC leads 22 and PDP leads 5 of the 27 LGA rollups. State-wide, APC leads the PU layer with 224,624 of 418,582 four-party votes, 58,447 ahead of PDP. This does not revise the declared leader.
Why can the declared and PU totals differ?
EC8D is a state collation product. Mundx selects complete four-party PU observations, prioritising CCIJ records and then Mark Essien fallbacks. Scope, availability, transcription and later collation steps can differ. The comparison identifies questions; it does not prove a cause.
How should this page be cited?
Use this permanent URL for the Borno declaration and comparison. Name the layer, year and review date. Cite an LGA place record for a local PU claim, and do not call its PU leader a declared winner without a traceable local collation source.
Provenance
What is official, and what Mundx calculated
The declared layer comes from INEC's result collection and a contemporaneous reproduction of the collation table. It is a collation product, not a sum recreated by Mundx.
Mundx's second layer is a four-party aggregation of selected polling-unit observations. It applies policy all-complete-ccij-first-v1: complete CCIJ records take precedence, then complete Mark Essien records fill remaining units.
- INEC 2023 presidential IReV record.
- State/FCT collation reproduction.
- 176,409 represented units from an inventory of 176,846; 437 remain unresolved nationally.
