INEC Declares Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Reps Election Inconclusive In Kogi

From Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday declared the 2023 Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu House of Representatives election inconclusive.

This followed the difference between the margin of winners and cancellation of results in two polling units of the federal Constituency.

The returning officer, Dr. Adams Baba who declare the result inconclusive in Kabba on Sunday said the difference of the results between the winner, Arch Salman Idris of African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kolawole Matthew was not up to the number of registered voters in the cancelled polling units.

“The ADC candidate polled 13867 while the APC polled 13605 leaving just 262 votes difference whereas the number of PVC collected in the cancelled polling units of Iya in Otu ward in Kabba/Bunu LGA (485) and Open Space polling unit in Egbeda ward of Ijumu LGA (100) is more than the difference”

The returning officer, however, did not mention when rerun election will be conducted in the affected polling units.
