[Kogi Election] INEC Instructs APC To Replace Audu

The Independent National Electoral (INEC) has asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to pick a new candidate as replacement for late Prince Abubakar Audu in order to continue with supplementary election.

Audu died just as INEC was collating the results of the November 21 election, in which he was leading.

In a statement signed by the secretary to the commission, Augusta Ogakwu, on Monday, INEC announced it would allow the conclusion of the election process by conducting supplementary election in the remaining 91 polling units where election was cancelled.

The supplementary election will hold December 5.
