May 21, 2026

Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, ILOT, has faulted the fresh delineation of wards, polling units and state constituencies proposed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for Warri Federal Constituency.

ILOT described the process that produced the proposal as fraudulent, saying the fieldwork and GIS mapping conducted by INEC did not comply with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), the Electoral Act 2026 and INEC’s own guidelines for the delineation of wards and polling units.

Secretary of ILOT, Sir Amorighoye Mene, in a statement, said the Itsekiri reject INEC’s recommendations.

The statement reads: “ILOT hereby rejects the new proposed fresh delineation of wards, polling units, state constituencies and one additional federal constituency in warri arising from the fieldwork and GIS mapping conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released on May 20 in Asaba Delta State.
