for the rerun elections in 28 constituencies spread across 11 states in the country.
PREMIUM TIMES had also reported how INEC, last week, warned that the elections would not accommodate the substitution of candidates, as the process had elapsed. YIAGA Africa noted that a total of 114 observers would be deployed through its Watching the Vote initiative to observe the elections in only four states- Akwa Ibom, Imo, Kano and Sokoto.
It also predicted possible threats of electoral violence and insecurity “there is increasing tension in Imo State, following the ruling by the Supreme Court on the governorship election.“Citizens are worried that this tension could linger until the elections and has the potential to escalate to physical violence if adequate security is not provided and deployed security personnel fail to act responsibly and professionally.
“Yiaga Africa calls on security agencies to ensure adequate security of election materials, personnel and voters across all states, especially in Kano, Imo and Akwa Ibom.
