Victor Umeh, the senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra Central in last Saturday’s election, has called for the cancellation of the election in the district over alleged irregularities.
Mr Umeh, who presently represents the senatorial district, made the call on Tuesday at a news conference at Aguluzigbo in Anaocha Local Government Area.
According to him, it was obvious that the card readers did not work in majority of the places in the senatorial district. Mr Umeh said in Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area, both violence and non-use of card readers for accreditation marred the exercise. “If you look at it, you will discover that it was impossible for the large figures that were posted in many areas.
“Results were also cancelled in a number of places like in Oba where the INEC cancelled results in 15 polling units in Oba ward 2; and INEC has not said anything about those places.”
