INEC returning Officer of the Anambra governorship election Prof James Epoke, has said that Saturday’s election was inconclusive and declared that a supplementary election would be conducted at a date to be fixed by the Commission.
Speaking in the early hours of today (Monday), Prof Epoke said the main reason for declaring the election inconclusive is that, for a candidate to emerge as the winner, he must have scored not only the highest number of votes cast, but should also garner 25 per cent in two-third of the local government areas in the state.
Apparently due to the large number of cancelled votes, which stood at 113,113, no candidate scored the required percentage.
Official results released as at this morning indicates that APGA’s Chief Willie Obiano polled 174,710, PDP’s Comrade Tony Nwoye polled 94,956 while APC’s Senator Chris Ngige polled 92,300 votes to place third.
