The Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) says it will conclude
and make returns in the constituencies
where voting and collation were done in
compliance with the Electoral Act in the
Rivers re-run elections.

This is contained in statement signed by
the INEC Director of Publicity and Voter
Education, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, on
Friday in Abuja.

It stated that the decision was arrived at
after the commission's Wednesday meeting
with the Rivers Resident Electoral
Commissioner (REC) , Supervisor and
Monitors of the March 19 election.

It noted that the commission had considered
the submissions of the officials and
undertook an audit of its personnel
deployed as polling officials and for related
duties in the elections.

It acknowledged that there were some
challenges in its operational efficiency,
especially as it concerns the production and
customisation of result sheets used for the
election.

``Specifically, there was omission of the
original watermark in the result sheets for
a few polling units in three federal
constituencies.

``There was also omission of some
delineation details in 47 of over 20,000
booklets produced."

It added that political parties that
participated in the election and their
agents witnessed the distribution of all the
election materials.

``The commission wishes to emphatically
state that there were no fake result sheets
or any fake materials used in the conduct
of the election."

It restated the commission’s decision to
uphold the declarations and return made in
the federal constituencies where elections
had been concluded.

``Similarly, INEC will conclude and make
returns in constituencies where it is
satisfied that voting and collation were
done in substantial compliance with the
Electoral Aact and our guidelines.

``Further details as to the constituencies
and nature of the exercise will be
announced by the REC in the next few
days."

It added that INEC would at a date to be
decided, conduct fresh elections in all local
government areas, constituencies and
polling units where March 19 elections were
disrupted before voting was concluded.
This, according to the statement, will start
with the accreditation and voting.

``Even so, this will only be after due
consideration with stakeholders and subject
to the advice of security agencies and
guarantees by the political parties,
candidates and their supporters."

It assured that all materials used for the
conduct of the elections which were not
destroyed by hoodlums were safe and were
being kept in secure custody.
