INEC To Hold Kogi Supplementary Election December 5

 The Independent National Electoral Commission has said it will hold supplementary elections in the 91 polling units where elections were cancelled during Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi State

on December 5.The commission also said in a statement by its Secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, that it had resolved to allow the All Progressives Congress to fill the vacancy created by the death of its candidate, Abubakar Audu.The decision means the supplementary election will be held on the same
day as the Bayelsa State governorship election.INEC’s Deputy Director of Publicity and Voters Educations, Mr. Nick Dazang, had told journalists on earlier Monday that the APC had yet to inform it of the death of its candidate, adding that such a notice must include a copy of Audu’s death certificate.The commission, however, said in the statement announcing the date for the supplementary election that the APC notified it of Audu’s death on Monday, leading to its decision.
