The Peoples democratic party in Ondo state, has accused the Independent national electoral commission of not following due process in the collation of results in some local government in the just concluded governorship election in Edo state.
The publicity secretary of the party in the state, Kennedy Peretei speaking ahead of the November governorship election in the state, claimed that some of the party agents in Edo reported that collation of results was not done at the local government headquarters.
While he provided no evidence to his claims, recall the All Progressives Congress (APC) had on October 10, petitioned INEC alleging that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members had smuggled the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines and voter registers into INEC’s office in Benin.
But INEC through the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Anugbum Onuoha, described the allegations as baseless, reassuring the public that at no time were BVAS machines or voter registers compromised or unlawfully accessed by any political party or external party.
