The commission says it has perfected its logistics for Saturday's governorship elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission will present certificates of return to the newly-elected members of the National Assembly next Thursday.
On Saturday, Nigerians will return to the poll for the second time in two weeks to elect governors in 29 states and members of all the state Houses of Assembly. The commission said it has learned from the experience of the Presidential and National Assembly elections and has effectively tackled the challenge of logistics.
On Saturday, INEC will also conduct supplementary elections in seven senatorial districts and 24 federal constituencies in 14 states. “Supplementary elections must, therefore, be conducted to determine the winners,” the commission said. “I am confident that working together with the security agencies, we will consolidate on the largely peaceful conduct of the Presidential and National Assembly elections while also taking decisive steps to deal with the minority of violators intent on disrupting the conduct of peaceful elections.”
