The Senatorial Candidate of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, for Abia North, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa has called for the cancellation of the National Assembly elections held on Saturday.
Senator Ohuabunwa made this known in a statement made available to Igbere TV through his Campaign Coordinator, Ukpai Ukairo Esq.
The statement reads,
“The Senator Mao Ohuabunwa Campaign Organization wishes to inform the general public that there has not been a return on the Abia North senatorial election. The true position is that results are still being collated.”
“Further, it has come to our knowledge that INEC operatives in their haste to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion manipulated the electoral process to the shock of all well-meaning patriots who believe in democracy. In this respect, it is tragic that INEC could conduct an election without the issuance of form EC40G, a form used to capture cancelled votes and places where there were no voting.”
“In the circumstances of the above, we demand that the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Abia State should direct the Returning Officer of the Abia North Senatorial Election to make the requisite declaration in accordance with the dictates of Rule 17E(e) of the guidelines for the conduct of of elections issued by INEC by cancelling the elections completely.”
Meanwhile, the Senatorial Candidate of All Progressive Congress for Abia North is set to be declared the winner of Abia North senatorial district.
