The
electoral commission, INEC, has announced March 23 for supplementary elections
in states and constituencies where elections were declared inconclusive.
It
was reported how governorship elections were declared inconclusive in six
states: Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Kano, Plateau, and Sokoto.
The
governorship race in each of those six states is between Nigeria’s two largest
parties, APC and PDP.
In
a statement on Tuesday evening, INEC spokesperson, Festus Okoye, said the
supplementary elections will also be held for inconclusive state assembly
elections.
The commission said there were several reason for declaring these elections inconclusive. These include discontinuation of use of the smart card readers, the failure to deploy them, over-voting, widespread disruption in polling units and the margin of lead principle.
