The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) proceeded with the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in Edo State on Monday.
INEC’s decision came despite the All Progressives Congress (APC) calling for CVR cancellation.
Earlier, Edo State APC Chairman, Emperor Tenebe had requested that INEC cancel the exercise due to damage to its secretariat and registration materials.
