The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has stated that the refusal of some political party agents to sign the Edo governorship election result sheet did not invalidate the poll.
INEC National Commissioner in Charge of Publicity, Prince Solomon Soyebi, stated this in an interview with newsmen on Thursday in Benin.
Soyebi said that the procedure for the validity of an election was stipulated in the Electoral Act and Election Guidelines.
“The refusal of any party agents to sign the result sheet does not in any way invalidate the declared result of the election,” Soyebi said.
