Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s
media aide, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, has reacted to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) declaration of the governorship election in Kano
State as inconclusive.
The
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Monday declared Kano
governorship election inconclusive.
The Resident Electoral
Commissioner (REC) of the state, Riskuwa Shehu, declared the election
inconclusive due to high number of cancelled votes in comparison to margin
between APC and PDP candidates.
He, therefore, ordered for a
rerun in areas where elections were cancelled in different parts of the State.
Reacting, Yakasai, tweeting via
his Twitter handle on Monday night, supported INEC decision in declaring the
election inconclusive
According to him, the constitution
approves of the electoral body’s decision.
Alongside a picture of a segment
of constitution backing the move, he wrote: “In an election that is keenly
contested and the margin is too close, this is what the law says with regards
to cancelled votes and inconclusive elections.”
