Enugu LG Elections: APC, LP Accuse ENSIEC Of Withholding Result Sheets

Two leading opposition parties in Enugu State, the APC and LP on Saturday accused the state electoral commission of withholding result sheets as local government elections get underway in the state on Saturday.

Officials of the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC) had according to the parties in question arrived at some polling stations at 9:40 a.m. without the result sheets while adding that at polling units, 008, 020, 003, 002, and 001, located at Christ Church, Enugu South Council, APC and LP agents had insisted on the electoral officers providing the result sheets before allowing voting to start.

‘ENSIEC provided other materials, but the result sheets were missing. The Supervisory Presiding Officer claimed she had the results but would only bring them in the afternoon for the Presiding Officer to enter the scores’ an LP agent was quoted to have submitted on Saturday.
