Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed voting in some parts of Bayelsa and Edo states, Southern parts of Nigeria.
Gatekeepers News reports that the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu said this while addressing a press conference in Abuja on Saturday.
Yakubu added that the election was also postponed in four wards with 141 Polling Units in Bayelsa State, adding voting will continue there tomorrow.
In Yenagoa, voting was disrupted and INEC mobilised security officials to escort the ad hoc staff to continue voting.
The INEC Chair added that the NYSC ad hoc staff were scared to go back, prompting the commission to postpone voting in the areas.
Meanwhile, Gatekeepers News earlier reported that voting was suspended in some parts of Edo State.
This was due to the omission of a political party’s logo on the ballot was deployed. Yakubu did not state the name of the political party.
Following this, the constituency election in Esan North, Esan South, and Igueben in Edo State have been postponed to 11 March to hold alongside the Governorship and States Houses of Assembly elections.
