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 Central · Two-layer record
Plateau 2023 presidential election result
The reproduced Plateau EC8D collation records LP first with 466,272 votes and APC second with 307,195. The declared margin was 159,077 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.
Plateau reconciliation
Declared totals beside selected PU observations
The declared four-party collation totals 1,026,144. The canonical PU layer totals 954,384, which is 93.0% of the declared figure and 71,760 below it.
| Party / scope | Declared collation | PU rollup | Declared minus PU | PU as % declared |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APC | 307,195 | 270,719 | +36,476 | 88.1% |
| LP | 466,272 | 443,271 | +23,001 | 95.1% |
| PDP | 243,808 | 229,392 | +14,416 | 94.1% |
| NNPP | 8,869 | 11,002 | -2,133 | 124.1% |
| Four-party total | 1,026,144 | 954,384 | +71,760 | 93.0% |
The difference is descriptive, not causal. “Declared minus canonical PU” equals +71,760 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.
Local evidence
Polling-unit rollups across 17 Plateau LGAs
These rows are calculated from selected polling-unit records, not declared LGA collation totals. APC leads 2, LP leads 13 and PDP leads 2 of the 17 local rollups. Each LGA name opens its permanent place page with ward and polling-unit context.

Largest local rollups
Five LGAs in Plateau 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.
- Jos North: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 82,973 votes, 40,733 ahead of APC. The local total is 150,893 across 913 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Jos South: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 105,173 votes, 89,076 ahead of APC. The local total is 136,564 across 542 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Mangu: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 38,573 votes, 11,753 ahead of PDP. The local total is 87,932 across 409 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Kanam: APC leads the selected four-party rollup with 39,728 votes, 16,081 ahead of PDP. The local total is 69,250 across 285 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Qua'An Pan: PDP leads the selected four-party rollup with 20,635 votes, 2,181 ahead of LP. The local total is 55,406 across 279 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
Reading the Plateau record
One contest, two evidence layers
The canonical PU layer
All 4,989 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
Jos North has the largest local rollup at 150,893. In Kanke, LP leads APC by 77 in the closest proportional margin.
Coverage needs a denominator. The least complete local record is Barikin Ladi 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
Plateau result notes
Who led Plateau in the declared result?
LP led with 466,272 votes. APC followed on 307,195, a margin of 159,077. The four tracked parties total 1,026,144; that subtotal is not the complete eighteen-party vote.
What does the local pattern show?
APC leads 2, LP leads 13 and PDP leads 2 of the 17 LGA rollups. State-wide, LP leads the PU layer with 443,271 of 954,384 four-party votes, 172,552 ahead of APC. 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 Plateau 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.
