The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to immediately announce results from the Kuje Central and Kabi wards.
DAILY POST reports that the Supervising Resident Electoral Commissioner for the Kuje Area Council election, Abubakar Dambo, on Sunday said results of two wards are still pending.
He attributed the delay in announcing the chairmanship result to technical challenges in the affected wards.
According to him, the delay was “because the collation officers went to the wrong place and had to return to the INEC office before heading back early this morning to complete the collation process”.
Reacting, PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, expressed concerns over the delay.
According to the statement, the “delay has raised apprehension because of the marginal lead that the Peoples Democratic Party has there”.
PDP alleged it is aware that its marginal lead is under the threat of being manipulated, using security forces.
“We call on the Chairman of INEC to immediately order the announcement of the results in Kuje Central and Kabi wards, most of which have been posted on the IREV.
“Election results must remain a true reflection of the votes of the people; anything less invalidates the entire process. We should uphold the sanctity of the ballot,” PDP said.
