The Independent National Electoral Commission has explained why it declared the Saturday’s governorship election in Benue State inconclusive.
Announcing the decision on Monday, the Returning
Officer, Prof Sebastian Maimako, announced that the number of canceled
votes outweighed the number of victory margin.
Samuel Ortom of the Peoples Democratic Party scored 410,576 votes while Emmanuel Jime of the All Progressives Congress scored 329,022 votes.
He said a new date would be announced for a rerun within 21 days.
