The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed that there won’t be any election in 240 polling units across 28 States of the federation.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu who made this disclosure at a regular consultative meeting with leaders of the 18 registered political parties ahead of the elections, said the affected polling units have no registered voter.
According to him, elections won’t hold in the 240 polling units because nobody chose to vote in the affected areas.
The poling units where elections would not hold are one in Edo, Kwara, Rivers and Zamfara States to 38 in Imo State which has the highest.
He said with the exclusion of the 240 polling units, election will take place in about 176,606 polling units across the country.
The Commission also warned that it will not accept a situation where two or more party agents report to the polling units, causing confusion, adding that any agent found to be engaged in such act will be arrested and prosecuted.
