The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) have jointly called on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately stop the ongoing presidential election and declare a fresh election.
The political parties alleged that the current process has been compromised and no longer free and fair.
They alleged that Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections were manipulated by officials of INEC at polling units by their failure to upload results electronically on the commission’s Results Viewing Portal (IReV).
LP National Chairman, Julius Abure; the PDP chairman, Iyorchia Ayu; as well as their ADC counterpart, Ralph Nwosu, made this known at a joint press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
Abure, who spoke on behalf of the LP, PDP and the ADC, said, “This election is not free and far from being fair”, adding that there are “ongoing cancellation of results from areas of strength of the opposition parties”.
They also declared a vote of no confidence on INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu and asked him to immediately step aside for an unbiased person to take over and conduct a fresh election.
More to come soon…
