Delta Governorship polls: Omo-Agege signs petition against INEC results, see full details
ShareTweetShareShare

The All Progressives Congress, APC in Delta State and its gubernatorial candidate, Ovie Omo-Agege has petitioned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC over the collation of election results in the just concluded 2023 gubernatorial election in the State.

Mr. Godwin Anaughe, the Director, Election and Strategy signed the petition and made it available to DAILY POST.

 

The Commissioner of Police in Charge of Election and members of the Press in Delta State were also copied in the petition.

The APC in the petition protested the collation of results from the election in breach of the Electoral Act, 2022.

 

The APC said the collation of the election results was done without regard to the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022 across Delta State.

 

“Following the conduct and announcement of results, the Electoral Act makes provision for the collation of the announced results in order to determine the winner of the election.”

According to the APC said Section 64(4) of the Electoral Act provides,

 

“A collation Officer or returning officer at an election shall collate and announce the result of an election, subject to his or her verification and confirmation that the:

 

(a) number of accredited voters stated on the collated result are correct and consistent with the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 47(2) of this Act; and

(b) the votes stated on the collated result are correct and consistent with the votes or results recorded and transmitted directly from polling units under section 60(4) of this Act”.

It noted that, “The All Progressives Congress, in the course of this State collation exercise, has raised questions as to the correctness of the votes stated in the collated results being produced from many of the Local Government Areas before the returning officer as it is contemplated under section 64(6) of the Electoral Act, 2022, which provides:

“Where during the collation of results, there is a dispute regarding a collated result or the result of an election from any polling unit, the collation officer or RETURNING OFFICER shall use the following to determine the correctness of the disputed result-

 

(a) the original of the disputed collated results for each of the polling units where the election is disputed;

(b) the smart card reader (in this case-the BVAS) used for accreditation of the voters in each of polling unit where the election is disputed;

 

(c) data of accreditation recorded and transmitted directly from each polling unit where the election is disputed as prescribed under section 47(2) of this Act; and

(d) the votes and results of the election recorded and transmitted directly from each polling unit where the election is disputed under section 60(4) of this Act”.

 

The APC stressed that “For the avoidance of doubt, without prejudice to the correctness of any collated result, as may arise from any inquest, the All Progressives Congress has disputed and is still disputing before this Collation Body, the correctness of the collated results from all polling units in the following Local Government Areas of Delta State: –

DELTA NORTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT

1. Aniocha North

2. Aniocha South

3. Ika North East

4. Ika South

5. Oshimili North

6. Oshimili South

7. Ukwani

8. Ndokwa East

9. Ndokwa West

DELTA SOUTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT

1. Bomadi (Only Wards 07, 08 and 09, that is, Akugbene1, Akugbene2 and Akugbene3)

2. Burutu

3. Patani

4. Warri North

5. Warri South West

6. Warri South

7. Isoko North

DELTA CENTRAL SENATORIAL DISTRICT

1. Ethiope East

2. Okpe

3. Ughelli South (only Wards 04, 05, 07 and 08)

4. Sapele (Only Wards 02, 03, 05, 08 and 10)

We know for a fact that every Political Party and candidate or its agent has the right to contest the correctness of any collated result pursuant to section64(6) of the Electoral Act, 2023 and once that is done the Collation Officer or Returning Officer has a bounden or mandatory DUTY to inquire into the disputed collated result by taking the steps outlined in this section of the Electoral Act.

 

“The collation officer does not have discretion in the matter. Section 64(5) provides that a collation officer or returning officer shall use the number of accredited voters recorded and transmitted directly from the polling unit under section 47(2) of this act and the votes or results recorded and transmitted directly from the polling unit under section 60(4) of this act to collate and announce the result of an election if a collated result at his or a lower level of collation is not correct.

It is our contention that in the above LGAs, there was a massive bypass of the BVAS and illegal entry of false results.
