Violence, over-voting, and smart reader malfunctions were responsible for the cancellations
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Lagos State, Sam Olumekun, has said violence and overvoting were responsible for declaring the elections in six federal constituencies in the state as inconclusive.
Mr Olumekun said Ajeromi Ifelodun Federal Constituency is most affected by the reruns in the state with 71 affected polling units, followed by Oshodi /Isolo with 48 affected polling units. He said the elections in two polling units were cancelled because the collation officers could not produce results for the polling units.
He commended voters in the state for their “perseverance and resilience throughout the period as they patiently waited for the arrival of election officials some of who arrived late to commence poll. It was not a deliberate action; it was as a result of unforeseen circumstances that delayed their movement to the polling unit from the registration areas.”
