GDPN Call for Total Cancellation of the just Concluded Local Government Election in Enugu state

The chairmanship candidate of the party Hon. Nnamdi Omeje has called for total cancellation of the purported local government election insisting that the elections did not meet the requirements of the Electoral Act and fall short of any standard in election any where in the world.

According to the leadership of the party, "having reviewed all the field reports from its unit agents who participated in the chairmanship and Counselorship election of 29th February 2020 in Enugu state, we hereby states as follows:

1. That the elections purported to have been held in the state on the aforementioned date should be cancelled outright for the following reasons:

A. That the election was marred by irregularities and ballot box snatching including diversion of electoral materials like never seen in the history of election in the state.

B. That the ruling party (PDP) took the ballot boxes, ballot papers and result sheets in Alor-uno ward to an unknown destination which I later learnt they went to the Sacred Adada House to doctor the result and later came out to give some agent result sheets without counting the ballot sheets. And this was executed by PDP toggs including presiding officers who are card carrying members of PDP with the backing of ENSIEC staff.

C. That a forensic examination will reveal multiple thump prints of unassuming proportion.

2. That given the above grounds, the purported elections be cancelled and a new date set for fresh local government elections in the state.

Speaking to press on sunday after the ENSIEC announced the result Hon. Omeje Nnamdi who was angered by the actions of the state electoral body and their collaborators wondered why PDP in the state could go as far as desecrating The Sacred Adada House by using the building as a centre for election rigging and thump printing. The PDP in Nsukka must first apologise to the people of Adada for such abomination and must take the full responsibility of purifying such a sacred building.

According the candidate who is also a well known and grounded in the politics of the state assured his teaming supporters that the mandate must be reclaim as he is pilling up all the ground braking evidence gathered in the election to unleash legal battle with PDP and ENSIEC. According to him, the party, has gathered enough evidence that will be used in the court to cancel the election. We have all the evidence required to cancelled the election and very soon we will meet them in the court. He noted that the circumstances surrounding the conduct of the election are too disturbing to be swept under the carpet.

Hon. Omeje called on the good people of Enugu state, the labor union, market union and other lovers of democracy to speak up because what happened in Nsukka and other places in the state on 29th february cannot be allowed to continue because posterity will judge us all if we allow it.

In his words, I thanked all our supporters who came out and voted for us and may God bless you all. He ended by saying that his party will soon file a legal suit to challenge the conduct of the election while urging his supporters to be law abiding.
