According to the initial results released by NEC yesterday, the total valid votes counted so far amount to 349,357, out of a total of 371,378. UP trails with 106,456 (30.47), while collectively the valid votes accrued to other 18 presidential candidates amounts to 105,295 (30.14%). If the trend of valid votes continues as it has started, the possibility of a run-off might be almost unavoidable. In Bomi and Sinoe, the football legend snatched 3,763 and 9391 votes respectively while the ruling Unity Party (UP) standard bearer got 2,807 and 1771 votes respectively. Out of 1790 polling centers set up in the county 252 have so far reported.
