The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has come under fire from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State for failing to react to a petition the party submitted.
The party had filed a petition in response to alleged irregularities in the state’s gubernatorial election.
With 730,002 votes, Uba Sani of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated Isa Ashiru of the PDP to win the March 18 governorship election, according to INEC.
At a press conference on Friday, the state chairman, Felix Hyet, criticised INEC for being silent.
The Chairman ordered the election commission to provide the real BVAS results.
He said: “Section 82 of the Electoral Law gives us the opportunity to seek redress or review to the national headquarters through administrative procedure by writing a petition to seek for a review within seven days of election.
“Election took place on the March 18, and on March 20 someone was announced a winner by allocation of votes.
“Unfortunately, they have said nothing and we wonder why?
“Their quietness seems to us as a connivance with the ruling party and the state to subvert justice and deny the people of the state the right to choose a leader.”
