The party’s petition, which was addressed to the commission’s chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega and dated April 18, 2011, was signed by National Secretary of the CPC, Mr. Buba Galadima.
In the petition, the CPC claimed that elections in these two zones were not done in substantial compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.
It alleged that the results from the zones were “substantially affected by massive irregularities.”
The party said its agents at most of the polling booths informed its leadership that members of the public were intimidated and driven away from the polling units, while ballot papers were not deposited in the ballot box in open view of the public.
