“I, professor Florence Obi hereby announce the suspension of results and the declaration of the winner until the supplementary election is held in the 326 polling units in Ihiala LGA. I have confirmed with the commission that supplementary elections will take place on Tuesday 9, November 2021.
While noting that collation shall resume after the supplementary election, Prof. Obi disclosed that the process was suspended because there was no election conducted in Ihiala Local Government Area because materials and personnel were not deployed to the area, even as there was serious security threat.
According to her, Clause 47 of the Revised Regulations and Guidelines for the conduct of elections provides for supplementary elections owing to logistic challenges on the part of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
