INEC is using experts to manipulate actual results on Server - PDP alleges

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will include the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara on the ballot.

The electoral body announced this in a statement on Friday by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye who said INEC took the decision following a ruling delivered on Thursday by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja.

He explained that the commission had refused to allow the candidates of the party in Zamfara to participate in the polls because of the “conflicting orders” of the Federal High Court, Abuja and the Zamfara State High Court on the primaries conducted in the state.

The INEC official revealed that the electoral umpire has decided to comply with the order of the court and restored the APC on the ballot in Zamfara.
