Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has announced the suspension of election in some parts of Kogi State.<\/p>\n

The Commission said it received reports from its officials in the State on incidences of electoral malpractices.<\/p>\n

According to the INEC, the incident of result sheets completed before voting was a major issue leading to the decision.<\/p>\n

The places, according to the Commission, include Adavi, Ajaokuta, Ogori\/Magongo, Okehi and Okene Local Government Areas.<\/p>\n

INEC said that the most serious incidents occurred in Ogori\/Magongo, affecting nine of 10 Registration Areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is entirely unacceptable. Any result not emanating from the Commission\u2019s process in the Polling Units will not be accepted,\u201d the Commission said in a statement signed by Mohammed Kudu Haruna, National Commissioner & Member Information and Voter Education Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission is determined not to reward bad behaviour. Consequently, the election in the nine Wards in Ogori\/Magongo LGA (Eni, Okibo, Okesi, Ileteju, Aiyeromi, Ugugu, Obinoyin, Obatgben and Oturu) is at this moment suspended.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incidences in the other Local Government Areas are being thoroughly investigated, and the outcome, including the way forward, will be announced in the next 24 hours,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
