ABIA RE-RUN: EX-INEC CHIEF, CONDEMNS RESULT



- Reactions trail the declaration of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mao Ohuabunwa, as winner of last weekend’s Abia North Senatorial Re-run election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

-          - Some lawyers and groups condemn the result as flagrant violation of electoral laws, saying that the election should have been declared inconclusive since election did not hold in some wards.
-          - A retired resident electoral commissioner and a serving director of INEC, who pleaded for anonymity, said the returning officer should not have declared Ohuabunwa winner when election did not take place in eight wards.
-          - Meanwhile, state chairman of APGA, Augustine Ehiemere, described the result as a sham, saying that “it’s all fraud and unacceptable to us.”
