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.
[At the meeting, cf. paragraph 2, the National Electoral Commission shall announce the results of the presidential election or referendum. Thereafter, the National Electoral Commission shall publicise the results, issue an election results report and publish it on its website.] 1)
