APC seeks cancellation of Anambra election result
All Peoples' Congress (APC), Anambra, Headlines, INEC Politics, Party Politics, State News Monday, November 18th, 2013The All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party have expressed different opinion on Saturday governorship election in Anambra State.
While the APC demanded a total cancellation of the entire election based on alleged massive disenfranchisement of voters, the PDP said the APC wanted to rig the election with thugs.
The APC, in a statement by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the disenfranchisement of voters was caused by blatant incompetent and/or deliberate sabotage of the electoral process by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
It said its call for the cancellation of the poll superseded its earlier demand for a rerun in four local government areas,and was based on the report it received from its agents as well as local and foreign observers in the state.
The party alleged that INEC, inexplicably used a voter’ register that was totally different from what it gave to political parties ahead of the election.
The statement reads in part, ‘’We discovered that INEC has set up a multi-layer arrangement to ensure that most voters in the state were disenfranchised, apparently acting out a script to manipulate the result of the election in favour of a certain candidate. Where voting materials were supplied, the commission provided wrong voters’ register.”
But the PDP commended President Goodluck Jonathan for providing adequate security and the enabling environment for a credible, free and fair election in the state in spite of any perceived hitch(es).
