The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to fill the vacuum created by the death of its Kogi State governorship election candidate, Abubakar Audu, in order to continue with supplementary election according, to Premium Times.
Mr. Abubakar Audu died just as INEC was collating the results of the November 21 election, in which the late APC candidate was leading. The actual period of his death has been marred by several conflicting and controversial reports.
In a statement signed by the secretary to the commission, Augusta Ogakwu, on Monday, INEC announced it would allow the conclusion of the election process by conducting supplementary election in the remaining 91 polling units where election was cancelled.
The supplementary election will hold December 5, INEC announced.
