INEC To Conduct Run-Off Elections In Bayelsa Constituencies
INEC had on Tuesday said that it would conduct a run-off in the three constituencies in Bayelsa State, where elections were declared inconclusive.
INEC Head of Department, Voter Education, and Publicity, Mr Wilfred Ifogah, who announced this in Yenagoa, listed the constituencies as Ogbia Constituency 11, Brass 1 and Southern-Ijaw IV.
Out of the 24 seats in the Bayelsa House of Assembly, results of 21 have been declared; with the PDP winning 17, while the APC claimed four.
Ifogah explained that the reason for declaring the result of three constituencies inconclusive was due to failure to follow INEC’s guidelines for the conduct of the 2019 general elections.
He said that the commission would inform stakeholders of the new date to conduct the election.
In a related development, the people of Basambiri, in Nembe Local Government Area have debunked a statement credited to the Bayelsa State Government that elections did not take place in the community.
But according to the Youth President of the community, Iruo Theo, the woman leader of the APC, Emmanuel Favour and Chief Agent Belele, said the election went on smoothly in the area.
Belele, who is the Deputy Chief of the community, said those who did not come for the elections on Saturday were those that had their hands soiled in the killing of an APC member during the presidential election.
He said contrary to the claims by the PDP members that the APC sympathizers chased them away from the community, he said it was the PDP thugs that killed an APC member.
