BEVERLY HILLS, JULY 25, (THEWILL) – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed the scheduled rerun elections in Rivers State over security concern.
According to a statement by its Secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, INEC declared that its intention was to conclude the rerun election within the shortest possible time but the enabling environment must be provided by the political actors.
The statement added that the Commission has therefore fixed July 30 for the rerun elections in some parts of the state.
The commission cited last Saturday’s attack on its office in Khana local government area of the state as a sign of prevailing danger.
