The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has thre@tened to cancel election results of crises-ridden areas during the presidential and National Assembly elections in Kogi.
Dr Hale Longpet, Kogi Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), sounded the warning while reacting to the crises that erupted in some Local Government areas.
There were reports of thugs interfering with some polling units in Anyigba and Dekina in the Kogi East, and Mopa in the Kogi West as well as parts of Kogi Central, where voting materials were allegedly carted away by thugs.
“You know the electoral law says that where there are disruption to the process, the result will be cancelled; the very particular units’ results will be cancelled.
The issues, initially, were only in the Kogi East and Central, but I can’t tell exactly where and where in the state have been affected until the results are brought by the electoral officers.
