The Independent National Electoral Commission says it will cancel elections in wards with irregularities in the coming 2019 general elections.
Francis Ezeonu, INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Imo State, said elections will be voided in areas marred with violence.
He said this Friday while carrying out sensitisation campaign in Aboh Mbaise local government area of Imo.
“INEC will not accept results in areas where ballot papers or boxes are carted away by hoodlums or any group or individuals. Election in that area will be cancelled.
“What INEC needs is cooperation from members of the community.
“If INEC does not receive cooperation of people in the communities, things will not be okay. I advise politicians and stakeholders to play by the rules and play good politics,” he said.
Ezeonu reiterated the commitment of INEC to conduct credible polls in the forth coming general elections.
He urged politicians to always ensure their followers enjoyed dividends of democracy to pave the way for their re-election.
