INEC BEGINS DISTRIBUTION OF SENSITIVE ELECTORAL MATERIALS

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Wednesday began the distribution of sensitive materials for Saturday’s governorship and house of assembly elections.

Also on Wednesday, political parties warned the electoral body against a repeat of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System glitches and other hitches that characterised the February 25 presidential and National Assembly polls.

The complaints about the conduct of the elections resulted in the rejection of the outcome of the polls by the parties which challenged the result in the court.

INEC has commenced deployment of sensitive materials in Lagos, Sokoto, Ondo, Ekiti, Edo, Bauchi, Kebbi, Osun and several other states three days ahead of the exercise.
