The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rejected the Abia State Governorship Election results from Obingwa, the collation of which was disrupted by thugs on Sunday, leading to the suspension of the exercise by the electoral umpire.
A usually reliable source in the know disclosed that INEC rejected the allegedly padded results after a careful review of the exercise earlier today, Tuesday, March 21, 2023.
“INEC ordered that the results should be announced based on the accredited voters,” the source said.
It equally disclosed that INEC has similarly ordered for the review of the results of the Enugu State Governorship Election of last Saturday, the collation of which was suspended following controversy over the alleged padding of results from Nkanu East Council, which returned over 30,000 votes in favour of Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Mr. Peter Mbah, while only about 7,000 voters were accredited in the area by the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
The suspension of the announcement of results of Abia and Enugu guber election believed to be won by the Labour Party has heightened tension in the two states.
In Abia, Dr Alex Otti of the Labour Party has won a total of 10 out of the 16 Local Government Area results so far declared by INEC, just as his Enugu counterpart, Hon. Chijioke Edeoga is in the lead in the state.
