WHY WE SUSPENDED RIVERS RE-RUN ELECTION

-          The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has issued a statement on why it suspended the re-run elections in Rivers.

-          The statement was issued by Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, Director, Voter Education and Publicity.

-          Read statement below: Pursuant to the Orders of the Court of Appeal, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted elections into various seats in both the National and the Rivers State House of Assembly recently.

-          Rather unfortunately, some of these elections witnessed the disruption of the process, including the barricading of some of the INEC Local Govt offices and Registration Area Centres (RACs) used for the distribution of electoral materials which led to the late commencement of the exercise in some places and consequently, its smooth take off.
