The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it would conduct supplementary elections in two state constituencies in Ebonyi State.

INEC had declared the elections inconclusive following the inferno that razed electoral materials in Ezza North Local Government Area which saw more than 36,000 voters disenfranchised as well as other challenges recorded in the other areas which necessitated the declaration.

“Izzi East 19 PUs across the following Registration Areas; Igbeagu Nduogbu, Igbeagu Ndietta, Igbeagu III, Mgbaluku I, Mgbabeluzor and Ndieze Ndiabor Ishiagu,” he said in a statement.
