Edo, Ondo guber: We’ll not declare winner if – INEC Chairman, Yakubu
Yakubu warned that INEC will not declare a winner if the election process is characterised by violence.
Speaking during a virtual workshop organised by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in partnership with the Centre for Democracy and Development in Abuja, Yakubu disclosed that politicians in both states have been informed. He said: “Where the election is disrupted and the commission cannot vouch for the integrity of the process, we will not go ahead to make any declaration.
“And this we have told the political parties point-blank; you either behave for the elections to be concluded in a free and fair manner or we do what the law says.”
