INEC releases timetable for continuation of Election in Rivers

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released timetable for the outstanding election in Rivers State.

Edwin Enabor, Head of Department, Voter Education, and Publicity, in a statement on Wednesday said the resumption of collation and announcement will hold between April 2 and 5.

Part of the statement reads, “According to the timetable, a stakeholders’ meeting is scheduled for Saturday, March 30 while the resumption of collation and announcement of results will hold between April 2 and 5. Supplementary elections will be conducted where necessary on April 13, results will be announced between April 13 and 15 while Certificates of Return will be issued on April 19.”

The electoral body revealed that the schedule released is a result of the ‘careful auditing’ by the fact-finding team set up by the commission to review the circumstances that led to the suspension of the process.

INEC also appealed to Rivers residents to embrace the resumed electoral activities for the 2019 general elections.
