INEC declares Anambra poll inconclusive, holds election in 1 LG Tuesday

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the Anambra governorship election inconclusive.

The electoral commission had failed to deploy staff and materials to Ihiala Local Government Area.

Dateline Nigeria reports that the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Charles Soludo, is leading after results declared by INEC so far.

Returning officer in the election, Prof. Florence Obi said the election would now hold on Tuesday, November 9, to complement the 20 local government areas election result, already announced.

Obi said: “we have collated results for 20 local government areas, and Ihiala is still outstanding as the commission was unable to deploy to the area.

“Based on constitutional provision, supplementary election will be held in Ihiala. So, we have to conclude the election in Ihiala to be able to conclude the process.

“I plead with you to support INEC, so we can bring this election to a conclusion, to the glory of God. The election for Ihiala will hold on November 9.”
