The polling unit where Bola Tinubu is expected to vote in the 2027 general election has recorded a 1,676 per cent increase in registered voters, rising from just 17 in the 2023 election to 302 in the latest Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voter register.

The polling unit is located inside Ireti Primary School, Ikoyi, Lagos State.

The 2023 INEC result sheet for the polling unit shows that only 17 voters were registered at the time, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) recording three votes and the Labour Party (LP) securing five votes out of eight valid votes cast.

However, the number of registered voters at the same polling unit has now risen to 302, representing an addition of 285 voters compared with the figure recorded in 2023.

The development has attracted attention amid growing scrutiny of INEC’s preliminary voter register ahead of the 2027 general election.

Tinubu reportedly relocated his polling unit from Alausa to Ikoyi, where he is expected to cast his ballot in the next presidential election.
