The Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, may have
scheduled the run-off governorship
elections in three states
, Imo, Abia and
Taraba, where last Saturday’s elections
were declared inconclusive, for next
Saturday.
The April 18 proposed date was yet to be
officially confirmed as sources in the
commission told Vanguard yesterday that
senior officials, who should take the
decision, were yet to meet on the
development.
INEC had declared the Imo State
gubernatorial election inconclusive
following the cancellation of results from
216 polling units that cut across 23 local
governments with about 144 accredited
voters.
In Abia State, the polls were declared
inconclusive because the state electoral
officer was said to have earlier cancelled
the results from Obioma Ngwa, Isiala Ngwa
and Osisioma Ngwa local government area,
only to later authenticate the results, a
development that led to protests by
members of All Progressives Grand
Alliance, APGA.
