The Coalition of Civil Society Election Observers Group has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel the results of the November 16 governorship poll in Bayelsa State and conduct a fresh election.

INEC had declared David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress winner of the election with 352,552 votes.

He said reports by the coalition, comprising civil society groups which monitored the election and some other local and international observers, indicated that the election was not credible as it was characterised by irregularities. Mr Lawson said security agencies did not perform their expected responsibility to ensure the election was peaceful.

“We are sad that till this moment, not a single perpetrator or sponsor of the violence which characterised the election has been arrested, despite the huge damages, including the loss of lives experienced.
