INEC denies postponing Plateau rerun election
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rebutted reports suggesting that the Plateau North Senate and House of Representatives rerun elections scheduled for Saturday, February 3, 2024, have been postponed.
In a statement on Friday in Jos, Mr. Michael Otokpa, INEC's Head of Department of Voter Education & Publicity in Plateau, clarified the situation and confirmed that preparations for the election have been completed, contrary to circulating news.
Otokpa addressed the circulating reports, stating, "The attention of Plateau INEC Head Office has been drawn to a so-called ‘Breaking News’ circulating on social media, claiming that the re-run has been postponed until further notice because of the absence of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on the ballot."
