The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the by-election ‎held at Ife Central State Constituency in Osun State inconclusive.

The Returning Officer, ‎Dr Francis Oladimeji, who made the announcement after the collation of results from the 11 wards in the state constituency, said the result could not be declared because of the violence which led to the disruption of collation at two polling units.

According to him, fresh election would be held on Sunday in the two affected polling units, Agbedegbede and Moore Ojaja, both in Ward Three in Ife Central State Constituency.

He explained that the report of violence recorded at the two polling units led to the cancellation of 872 votes, saying the margin between the two leading candidates was 710, making it imperative to conduct a fresh election, as stipulated in the Electoral Act.

Dr Oladimeji further explained that ‎the number of cancelled votes exceeded the difference between the two leading candidates.

There were reports that suspected political thugs had earlier disrupted voting process at the two polling units, with attempts to snatch ballot boxes from INEC ad-hoc staff.

Again!

Someone said INEC now stands for Inconclusive National Electoral Comm. Though, while some think inconclusiveness is an expression of ineffectiveness, I think it shows democracy is maturing. shows we now have relative balance between opposing parties unlike what used to be the case. ADDITION: No one should see this as a for any party though. It's nobody's achievement in particular but a nation evolving. But low mentality people can't understand this. They can't think beyond the little worlds made of parties, tribes & everything tiny & sectional.

Inconclusive Nigerian (sic) Electoral Commission, INEC (2015 - ?)

Inconclusive INEC.

Incoclusive Again For a single local government election I'm just thinking the number of months or years the 2019 election 'll take to be conclusive....

Unbelievable. I refuse to be surprised

Whenever a certain party looses, elections will be declared inconclusive as the masters have to be informed before any such results can be released

If INEC cannot successfully conclude only one local government election then we can rightfully predict what will happen in 2019.

This is why we keep saying GEJ was a phenomenon.

Inconclusive waste of resources.

Jonathan my hero! How we miss you. Since you left Aso rock, INEC has never conducted a single conclusive election.

What we have are inconclusive election followed by reruns. ...infact the reruns are inconclusive such that we now have reruns in reruns.

Other sectors of the country are not left out of this incompetent and directionless government of a dullard.

What a joke. Any election PDP are winning are being flagged as inconclusive by INEC. This sort of calls the credibility of INEC into perspectives.

PDP has already won,no manipulation can change it

No wonder our Budget is Inconclusive..

End Time Government..

Ok

Is INEC just knowing this word 'Inconclusive' exist?

What a shame! If INEC can't conclude simple elections such as this, even without violence, then they should be scrapped...

Kai! Your own comment is even INCONCLUSIVE. Lmao!

It is quite a shame that the present istration can not conduct one credible election, I wonder how many times the 2019 presidential election will be declared inconclusive.

At least GEJ was able to restore some form of integrity in INEC I guess all that is now gone!
