Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will soon conduct the rerun election in two polling units in Saki West State Constituency, as ordered by Court of Appeal.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Oyo State, Dr Adeniran Tella, stated this yesterday in an interview with Newsmen on the sidelines of the 2023 Annual Christmas Carol, organised by INEC in the state.

Recalls that the appellate court had sacked the lawmaker representing the constituency, Mr Shittu Ibrahim of All Progressives Congress (APC) who was declared winner of the election held on March 18.

The court had upheld the Election Petitions Tribunal’s judgment in a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr Julius Okedoyin, who challenged Ibrahim’s declaration as winner by INEC.
