Newshawkng.com understands that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has denied that it would hold supplementary elections in 15 states for the national assembly elections that were conducted on Saturday, February 25.
A report published here claimed that INEC will repeat the elections in eight senatorial districts and 33 federal constituencies across 15 states.
As per the report the elections will be held alongside the much-anticipated gubernatorial polls across 28 states slated for Saturday, March 18.
INEC has however denied the claim. A statement posted on their verified Twitter handle says only on Enugu East senatorial district and Edo will elections be Held.
At the just concluded presidential election, there were none in Enugu East senatorial district due to the death of the Labour Party flagbearer a few days before election.
Also in Edo state, the election for Esan-Central, Esan-West/Igueben Federal constituency did not materialise due to omitted party logos in the ballot papers.
According to the statement, the date when supplementary elections will be held will be announced by the commission.
