The campaign Organisation of Senator Smart Adeyemi has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to. nullify the Saturday senatorial election won by the APC candidate, Dino Melaiye saying it was full of irregularities.
The campaign organisation said that the results released in the area was not the true position of what actually took place adding that the PDP candidate, Senator Smart Adeyemi was shortchanged in the election.
The leader of the organisation Mr Fehinti Dada who addressed newsmen in Lokoja State capital yesterday said that the feedback from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) agents from some units in the council area showed that the election was far from being free and fair “as it was marred with intimidation, irregularities and multiple voting”.
Specifically he explained that in the Kotonkarfi local council “42,473 voters were registered, 21,451 were accredited,17,989 votes were valid, 789 votes were rejected, 18,787, are the total number of votes cast for Senate election alone”
With that he added that over 2664 PDP voters were denied voting rights after accreditation alleging that over 5000 supporters were equally denied accreditation
