Saki West Rerun: INEC Expresses Commitment To Appeal Court Judgement
...Speaks On Preparedness
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that it will soon conduct the rerun election in two polling units in Saki West house of assembly State Constituency.
Recall that the appeal court delivered a judgement ordering the commission to conduct a rerun into the affected polling units within ninety days.
Oyo state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Adeniran Rahman Tella, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Dr. Tella said the recent ruling of the court of appeal has necessitated the commission’s preparedness for the rerun, owing to the margin of lead during the last election.
He said “As we speak, INEC has come to the conclusion that election is going to be re-conducted in two registration areas (RAs) and two polling units in Saki West constituency,”
Dr. Tella hinted that the date for the rerun had not been fixed, but gave assurance that the election would hold within 90 days, as ordered by the court.
