Edo Poll: KOWA Calls For Cancellation Of Results by shaddoww: 7:02am On Sep 30, 2016 |
The KOWA Party on Thursday called for the
cancellation of the Edo State gubernatorial
election results following reports of violence
and irregularities in certain areas.
KOWA’s agent at the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in
Benin City, Thompson Osadolor had raised
called for the cancellation following the
commission’s cancellation of results in areas
where ballot boxes were snatched or card
readers not used for authentication.
He said that since it was obvious that such
issues including the open inducement of
voters at polling units occurred at different
places, INEC should out rightly cancel the
entire results and bar parties found culpable
from contesting a new election.
His submission was however countered by
agent of the New Nigeria People’s Party
(NNPP) Joyce Edekere and her Labour Party
counterpart.
According to Edekere, NNPP would not back
the call for cancellation because it was
unnecessary.
“We’re not joining the call for a cancellation of
the elections because we think there’s no
justification for such. The elections were fair
and INEC gave direct answers to the
questions that were raised about elections.”
Similarly, Labour Party said the elections were
generally peaceful, free and fair, insisting that
it was baseless to demand cancellation,
considering the resources and time put into
achieving the outcome.
“This election was very peaceful. On as much
as there were a few issues in some places,
INEC has done the accurate thing by
cancelling the results of the places affected.
We do not see the need for cancellation and
we do not support the call.”
Of the 18 Local Government Areas result
announced, the All Progressives Congress
(APC) won 13 leaving the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) with five.
Earlier, both PDP and Action Alliance (AA)
agents demanded that the votes for Etsako
Central released by INEC be recounted on
grounds that it differed from the copy they got
at the collation centres. thenationonlineng.net |

Why do we have so many irrelevant parties in nigeria? Apc and pdp are the two major parties in nigeria. All these other parties were just slowing down the electioneering process. I've nvr heard some political parties name before until yesterday. Please how many polical parties do we have in nigeria? |
