The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has suspended elections in nine wards of Ogori/Magongo Local Government Area of Kogi State. INEC’s National Commissioner and Member, Information and Voter Education Committee of the commission, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, confirmed the suspension in a statement reelased on Saturday, November 11.

According to him, the move is due to reported cases “of electoral malpractices, particularly the incident of result sheets completed before voting”.

“This is entirely unacceptable. Any result not emanating from the Commission’s process in the Polling Units will not be accepted. The Commission is determined not to reward bad behaviour. Consequently, the election in the nine Wards in Ogori/Magongo LGA (Eni, Okibo, Okesi, Ileteju, Aiyeromi, Ugugu, Obinoyin, Obatgben and Oturu) is at this moment suspended. The incidences in the other Local Government Areas are being thoroughly investigated, and the outcome, including the way forward, will be announced in the next 24 hours.” the statement reads

The electoral umpire said in the wake of the reported malpractice said it would probe the incidences and fish out those “who may have been complicit in undermining the process”.

“We have a record of all officials deployed at various levels as supervisors, monitors, technical staff, or polling unit officials and all election materials issued to them. Appropriate sanctions will be applied where necessary. The Commission assures voters in Kogi State that their votes are protected, and their wishes will be respected.” the statement further reads
