The Commission explained that: “some of the State/Federal Constituencies and Senatorial seats are inconclusive as a result of reports of election cancellations and elections not conducted for reasons of serious violence in some units and Registration areas.” It promised that details of all these places would be made available unit-by-unit, Registration Area-by-Registration Area (RA).

 

The Commission reiterated that “a new date to conduct the elections will be communicated to the public after due

consultation with stakeholders”.
