Amidst complaints about the dispute that trailed Saturday’s elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission reassured that the March 11 governorship and state house of assembly elections will hold as scheduled.
INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye gave the assurance in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.
It assured that all processes and procedures for the elections were taken care of.
He said:
“The commission held its regular weekly meeting and deliberated on several issues, including the presidential and National Assembly elections.”
It also spoke on the governorship and state assembly elections and the pending elections in Enugu East senatorial district and the Esan Central/Esan West and Igueben federal constituencies in Edo.
For the rescheduled elections in Enugu and Edo States, the electoral umpire affirmed it would also conduct them on March 11.
“The commission is aware that in some senatorial districts and federal constituencies, declarations and returns were not made. The commission is compiling the list of the affected constituencies. A date for supplementary elections will be fixed after the governorship and State Assembly elections.”
