The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed Saturday, April 15, for the conduct of all supplementary elections.
On Monday, the commission made this known in a press statement signed by its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye.
Part of the statement reads: ” The Commission has fixed Saturday, 15th April 2023, for the conduct of the supplementary elections in the affected polling units nationwide.
We appeal to all political parties, candidates and stakeholders to note the date and locations of the supplementary elections. The earlier accreditation for polling and collation agents, observers and the media still subsists for the supplementary elections.”
As regards the gubernatorial polls, voting is expected to take place in Kebbi and Adamawa states on the said date.
The governorship elections in Adamawa and Kebbi states were earlier declared inconclusive by INEC owing to cancelled votes, which were more than the margins between leading candidates.
INEC will also conduct supplementary elections for federal and state parliamentary elections, which were declared inconclusive on the said date.
