THE Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission – INEC, to suspend the ongoing collation of results for Saturday’s presidential election.
The leadership of the LP through the Director General of party’s presidential campaign council, Akin Osuntokun on Monday, said INEC and President Muhammadu Buhari have failed to deliver on their promise of free and fair elections.
Osuntokun, who accused INEC of not sticking to its guidelines, claimed that the party has received reports of electoral malpractices across the country.
The LP therefore, urged INEC to carry out a comprehensive review of the exercise before deciding on whether or not to continue collation.
Similarly, the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, at a media briefing in Abuja on Monday, accused INEC of rigging the elections in favour of the ruling All Progressives Party – APC.
The PDP also accused the electoral commission of violation of the electoral act by failing to transmit the results to its server, adding that the integrity of the exercise had been compromised.
Osuntokun urged INEC to carry out a comprehensive review of the exercise before deciding on whether or not to continue collation.
