The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has on Monday declared the Anambra Governorship election inconclusive.
Professor Florence Obi, the returning officer of the election, made the declaration at INEC head office in Awka, Anambra capital, in the wee hours of Monday.
She said the election could not end on first ballot because there was no voting in Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.
Backing her action with the constitution and the Electoral Act, Obi said a supplementary election will hold in Ihiala on Tuesday.
