Staying on Osun State re-run Elections, the missions of the United State, the European Union, and the United Kingdom have faulted the supplementary election held in Osun State on Thursday.

According to the missions, which observed the poll, incidents noted during the process are very worrisome.

“We witnessed what appeared to be incidents of interference and intimidation of voters and heard reports of harassment of party monitors, journalists and domestic observers,” US Consul-General John Bray, who spoke on behalf of the missions, told journalists.

“We are very concerned by these reports and we will be checking with stakeholders to determine the facts. We call on all stakeholders to remain calm.”

Unlike Saturday’s poll which was considered peaceful, the re-reun was marred with reports of several arrests, intimidation and manipulation
