Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
The Action Alliance(AA) Senatorial candidate in the just-concluded Rivers South-east by-election, Dr. Douglas Fabeke, has vowed to legally challenge the outcome of the election.
Dr Fabeke alleged multiple irregularities that he said undermined the credibility of the poll.
Speaking with journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday , Fabeke said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), allegedly failed in several key areas that are critical to a free and fair election.
He alleged that INEC did not provide result sheets at many polling units, relocated electoral officials to private hotels where results were allegedly manipulated, facilitated vote buying, diverted election materials to private homes, and instructed presiding officers not to upload results to the INEC Result Viewing Portal as mandated by the Electoral Act.
