Re-run elections Suspended in 20 PU In 3 States – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has on saturday suspended ongoing re-run elections in some constituencies due to what it tagged “disruptions, irregularities and abduction of election officials”.
National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC, Sam Olumekun disclosed this in press statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
According to the statement, the affected areas are “Enugu South 1 State Constituency, Enugu State. Suspension of elections in all eight Polling Units where reports says the original results sheets were not available for inspection by voters before the commencement of polls.
“Ikono/Ini Federal Constituency, Akwa Ibom State. Suspension of elections in two Polling Units (Village Hall, EdemUrua 003 in Ini LGA and Village Hall Mbiabong Ikot Udo 003 in Ikono LGA), where all election materials were hijacked by hoodlums.

“Kunchi/Tsanyawa State Constituency, Kano State. Suspension of elections in all 10 Polling Units in Kunchi LGA due to invasion, vandalization, and disruption by thugs.”
Mr Olumekun said the decision of the Commission aligns with the provisions of Section 24(3) of the Electoral Act, 2022.
“Further necessary measures for the affected constituencies will be announced after the Commission’s meeting on Monday,” the statement said, adding that INEC had invited the security agencies to investigate the incidents, while the Commission remained committed to “thoroughly interrogating any breaches involving its officials”.
