The Independent National Electoral Commission says it has cancelled elections in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers after voting failed to take off there today.

The commission’s spokesperson in Rivers State, Edwin Enabor, confirmed the decision to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday afternoon.

He said elections in the area would now hold on another date to be set by the commission.

“In Bonny, there was no election at all,” said Mr Enabor, adding that: “the exercise there has been postponed. It will hold on another day.”

PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported how elections could not hold in the area after protesting APC members stopped materials and personnel from leaving the INEC office there.

The APC supporters reportedly alleged that the ballot papers deployed to the area were fake.

A resident, Opuade Abbey, said the area had been taken over by armed security operatives including soldiers.

The development in Bonny may affect the results of Rivers southeast senatorial district and Bonny/Degema federal constituency elections.

Elsewhere, in Okrika Local Government Area, Mr Enabor said sensitive materials for one ward was diverted.

“Therefore voting did not hold in the affected registration area (ward),” he said.

“The position of the commission is that election will be conducted separately for that registration area later.”

Imagine Rotimi Amaechi claiming ignorance of the supreme court against the APC fielding candidates in this election as far as Rivers State is concern? Lawless people as usual.

Today, there were no commercial vehicles on the roads in Owerri and I trekked more than I've trekked all my life, just because I wanted to cast my vote. Got to my polling unit by 7.30 without having breakfast, voting didn't start till 1pm. I don't regret it though, I contributed my quota to voting out lifelessness. I'm proud of myself

thats commendable and on the day of the election government should send enough security personnels that will correspond with River State population so that every resident has at least a soldiers attached to him on that day

They’ve started again?
Why not disqualify the region if locals couldn’t conduct themselves properly?

It's a shame Buhari need to take to under-hand practice to win elections that he easily won in 2015.

It's worse to think you guys that condemned PDP for rigging and convinced us to vote them out are now urging Baba on.
