The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has indefinitely suspended Nura Ali, its resident electoral commissioner in Sokoto.
On Monday, Mr Ali’s suspension was conveyed in a letter by the commission’s national secretary, Rose Orlaran-Anthony.
The letter was addressed to Mr Ali and the state’s INEC administrative secretary, Hajiya Aliyu, who was instructed to assume the leadership of the commission’s activities in the state until further notice.
Although the letter did not specify the reason for Mr Ali’s ousting, the suspension came amidst widely condemned irregularities that marred the state’s National Assembly election.
INEC declared the parliamentary election held in the state inconclusive, adding that supplementary elections will be held in the three senatorial districts.
