The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the Anambra Governorship election that held on Saturday November 16th inconclusive and the Chairman of the commission, Professor Attahiru Jega, in an interview with a local television station admitted that the election was flawed, especially in Idemili North local government, where he said the electoral officer connived with outside interests to sabotage and subvert the electoral process.
The election
inconclusive due to the significant number of votes it voided during
counting. It said the total number of votes cancelled is much more than
the difference between the candidate with the highest number of votes
and the runner up.
The results
declared by the commission showed that Chief Willie Obiano of the All
Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) polled 174, 710; Comrade Tony Nwoye of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) polled 94, 354, while Senator Chris
Ngige of the All Progressive Congress (APC) polled 92, 300 votes.

The APC, PDP,
and Labour Party candidates had in a joint statement on Sunday called
for the cancellation of the election citing irregularities...
What next??????
