The Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, on Tuesday resolved to conduct fresh polls in only
the 91 polling units that witnessed cancellation of the ballots in the November
21 governorship election in Kogi State, on December 5. This follows the declaration
of the election as inconclusive by the electoral body.
A public notice signed
by the Secretary to INEC, Mrs. Augusta C. Ogakwu, and dated 24th November,
2015, explained that this decision was taken “after due consideration of the
circumstances.”
The
new date would allow the All Progressives Congress, fill the vacancy created by
the death of its governorship candidate in the inconclusive election, late
Abubakar Audu.
