Sequel to disturbances and protest staged by some youths of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some women at the Imo State headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday, the electoral umpire has suspended indefinitely the scheduled rerun for Imo North.

According to the administrative secretary of the commission in the state, Chinedu Oburunobi, who addressed journalists, the INEC was not comfortable with the protest and disturbance, hence the suspension of the rerun.

It would be recalled that hundreds of youths of APC and some women besieged the INEC office along Port Harcourt Road, Owerri as early as 7 a.m., demanding the removal of some officers of the commission they claimed belonged to the opposition party.

The rerun was as a result of the cancellation of the 2015 Senatorial election for Imo North won by Chief Athan Achonu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), challenged by Benjamin Uwajumogu, former Speaker of the state assembly who is on the platform of the APC.
