[NEWS] UPDATE ON THE AJEROMI IFELODUN HOUSE OF REPS DEBACLE


Yesterday evening at the Commission's headquarters in Yaba, the parties' representatives were briefed on the latest development. The Commission explained that the election has been declared inconclusive due to various electoral malpractices in some units which culminated in the election cancelled in some units across four wards namely: Mosafejo, Ojo Road, Olodi and Awodiora.
In all, election will be rescheduled in 24 units; 18 in Mosafejo, three in Awodiora, two in Ojo Road and one in Olodi. The Commission said the rerun poll will hold within 29 days as stipulated by the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) and a date within that time frame will be communicated to all parties involved.
Also according to the Commission, the PDP candidate, Rita Orji leads 31,982 votes judging by the already collated results of seven wards followed closely by the APC flag bearer, HKT with 28,758 votes.
Total number of registered voters in the affected units stand at over 15,000.
Again, it needs to be impressed upon to dispel the rumours going round that Rita has been declared the winner of last Saturday's elections. No one has been returned elected as the process is yet to be concluded. The news that she has won is fake and if anyone argues with you, just ask him or her if she has the result issued to her by INEC declaring her the winner. If a result and or the certificate of return has been issued, they would definitely have been bandied about.
