The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has suspended re-run elections in 20 polling units across Kano, Enugu, and Akwa-Ibom states.
The National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
INEC had earlier stated that it was probing election disruptions that occurred during the rerun/by-elections in Enugu, Akwa-Ibom, and Kano states.
However, in its latest updates, it stated that the suspension was a result of irregularities and abduction of election officials.
Olumekun said the decision of the Commission aligns with the provisions of Section 24(3) of the Electoral Act, 2022.
