Rivers: INEC cancels election in four councils

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has announced the cancellation of rerun elections of National and state Houses of Assembly in four Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the Rivers state.
 The LGAs are, Khana, Gokana, Andoni and Bonny.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Aniedi Ikoiwak  who announced the cancellation at a briefing on Saturday afternoon at the state INEC office in Port Harcourt said the decision  followed attacks of INEC officials at the areas by political party members who alleged that the electoral materials sent to them were fake.
“I am not aware of any fake materials sent to any LGA in this elections, all the electoral materials for the elections were distributed in the presence of political party representatives, everything sent out from here were genuine materials,” he said.
