The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Kwara, Attahiru Madami, says the Tsaragi Polling Unit 10 result would be cancelled following a case of ballot box snatching by hoodlums on Saturday.
Tsaragi is in the Edu Local Government Area of Kwara.
Mr Madami told journalists on Sunday that the cancellation was in line with the rules guiding the conduct of the elections.
He attributed the late arrival of INEC personnel and materials to some parts of Ilorin West and the late commencement of voting hitches at Registration Area Centre (RAC).
“It took us up to 11:00 a.m. before we finished the distribution of logistics, and immediately I knew we were starting late. I extended the time of voting until the last person on the queue voted”, he said.
The REC said out of 2,887 polling units in Kwara, only one polling unit had its ballot boxes snatched.
He said it was not true that the commission used vehicles from one of the political parties involved in the election to distribute materials.
