DAILY POST learnt that the incident occurred between Mariga and Tegina and the three persons were shot dead on the spot in an ambush by the Bandits on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

They were killed on their way back to Mariga after the party postponed the primaries to obtain their means of identification, following a protest by some of the aspirants who were not comfortable with the delegates list.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, delegates were asked to return home and bring their means of identification and the primaries shifted to Thursday.<\/p>\n

The victims were two women and a male, whose identities were not revealed.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the State electoral panel and Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State Mr. Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo who made the disclosure at the state party secretariat described the incident as sad.<\/p>\n

Ewhrudjakpo also asked all the aspirants for the replacement of the three deceased delegates, which they agreed to after a brief discussion.<\/p>\n

He afterwards, ordered a minute of silence be observed for the deceaseds\u2019.<\/p>\n
