#Nigeriadecides- The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Kwara, Malam Attahiru Madami, has said that the commission would cancel elections conducted in the Tsaragi polling unit in the state over ballot snatching.
Madami, who stated this on Sunday in an interview said that the cancellation was in line with the rules guiding the conduct of the elections.
According to him, personnel of the INEC had arrived late at some voting venues.
“It took us up to 11 a.m. before we finished the distribution of logistics and immediately I knew we are starting late. I extended the time of voting until the last person in queue voted”, he said
The REC said out of 2,887 polling units in Kwara only one polling unit had its ballot boxes snatched.
He debunked reports that the commission used vehicles belonging to one of the political parties involved in the election to distribute materials.
