INEC Have No Power To Cancel An Election Already Announced By The R/officer by NgeneUkwenu(f): 8:59am On Aug 19, 2018 |
Inec under the electoral law has now power to cancel, reject or interfere in any electoral results already announced by the INEC appointed returning officer in any concluded election. We saw it in T.A Orji Vs Ikpeazu, Uchendu Vs Sekibo etc.. I believed INEC announced the purported "Suspension" to calm frayed nerves pending the time they will issue the Certificate of Return to the announced winner. Anyone who is not satisfied with the stipulated law of the electoral act, will have to explore the window of remedy through the Tribunal. Consequently, the winner should continue his/her celebration as Nothing will upturn those results as announced by the Returning Officer except the court of Law. By Ruth Choji https://allafrica.com/stories/201504201235.html The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that it cannot cancel the results of the governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states. According to the Punch, the statement was made a few hours after the European Union (EU) Election Observation Mission (EOM) to Nigeria called for a probe of the “severe problems” that characterised the elections in the two states. Kayode Idowu, the chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, explained that once results had been announced by INEC, only election petition tribunals had the power to cancel and order fresh elections.Read more: https://www.naija.ng/421278-inec-has-no-power-to-cancel-rivers-akwa-ibom-results.html#421278 lalasticlala Mynd44 1 Like |

In Abia state during the 2015 gov election, it was argued that inec does not have the right to cancel results announced and accepted (endorsed by parties to the election) at the polling units. Rerun election was ordered IN those areas marred by violence in obingwa and osisioma LGAs. The heading of the letter from inec is suspension not cancellation. Inec will resume the process when all allegations have been cleared. 1 Like |

INEC at this point needs to be very careful! Already people are beginning to lose credibility in them It shouldn't be suspended but cancelled! A warning of outright disqualification should also be sounded to any party or individual who might try such again! 3 Likes 4 Shares |
