Delta REC Threatens To Cancel Rescheduled Presidential Election

The Delta State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Dr Cyril Omoregbe, vowed that he will not hesitate to cancel the rescheduled Presidential and National Assembly polls on Saturday should the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, headquarters delay to send all electoral materials to the state.

This may not be unconnected to the fact
that prior to last weekend’s postponement, Omoregbe said the commission
did not deploy election materials to the field owing to non-receipt of
some sensitive electoral materials.

He warned during a media chat
in Asaba, saying “if all of the electoral materials which have not been
supplied but which we have notified INEC Abuja has not arrived by
Friday 2.00 p.m. I will not hesitate to cancel the election. I will not
wait till 2.00 a.m. to cancel the poll. Some of the discrepancies we
spotted in the materials include those of other states wrongly sent to
Delta and vice versa. Some local government areas did not have result
sheets.”
