Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has rejected the Abia and Enugu States Governorship Election results that did not conform with the actual accredited voters. It will be recalled that the Labour Party agents and governorship candidate in Enugu State opposed results collation of Nkanu East council, claiming that the votes were padded.
An INEC official told journalists that the commission rejected the allegedly padded results after a careful review of the exercise on Tuesday, and wanted the right things to be done. For Abia State, the official said the Commission ordered that the results should be announced based on the accredited voters. On Enugu’s case, the commission according to the source has similarly ordered for the review of the results.
Meanwhile, the supporters of PDP’s Mbah have been calling on INEC to announce the results that had been collated and declare their candidate the winner, saying those who opposed the result should go to court.
