The Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has postponed the scheduled rerun elections
in Rivers State over security concern.
INEC has therefore fixed July 30 for the rerun
elections in some parts of the state.
In a statement signed by its Secretary, Mrs.
Augusta Ogakwu, INEC maintained that it was ready
to conclude the rerun election within the shortest
possible time but the enabling environment must be
provided by the political actors.
The commission cited last Saturday’s attack on its
office in Khana local government area of the state
as a sign of prevailing danger.
