The Independent National Electoral Commission has said 118,803 eligible voters will participate in the Saturday’s run-off election in Imo State instead of 144,715 it initially declared.

Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Dr Gabriel Ada, said this while briefing party agents in Owerri, the state capital, on Tuesday, on the preparation for the election.

Ada added that 200 poling units, spread across the 23 Local Government Areas in the state, where election had been declared inconclusive would be involved in the voting on Saturday.

Governor Rochas Okorocha, candidate of the All Progressives Congress at the April 11 governorship election in the state, polled 385,071, winning 20 Local Government Areas out of the 27 in the state, while his closest rival, Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, polled 306,142 , winning seven LGAs.

There have been strident calls for the redeployment of the REC from the state ahead of the Saturday’s election.
