The 2023 presidential elections held on Saturday were marred by violence in some states and have led to the suspension of elections in some areas.
Electoral processes in the Esan and Igueben Federal Constituency of Edo State have been suspended.
The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Yakubu Mahmood, announced this on Saturday in Abuja.
Election in Esan North, Esan South, and Igueben Local Government Area was suspended due to printing errors and omission of some crucial political parties’ logos, Mahmood said.
“In Edo State, we had a situation that we handled yesterday.
“One of the parties, whose acronyms are on the result sheet, but the logo is not on paper in a federal constituency.
“I met with stakeholder and the decision was taken to suspend the election for Esan North, Esan South, and Igueben.
