INEC Set to Conduct Cross River Rerun Election on February 3, 2024

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced its readiness to conduct a rerun election in Cross River State on February 3, 2024.

This comes after a court ruling nullifying the results of the previous election in the state.

The rerun election will take place in 34 polling units across Akamkpa/Biase Federal Constituency, Obanliku, and Yala two, State Constituency.

Only voters with Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) and those registered in the affected polling units will be eligible to vote in the election.

INEC has assured the public that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) will be deployed for the election, with activities commencing at 8:30 a.m. and concluding by 2:30 p.m.

However, individuals in the queue by or before 2:30 p.m. will still be attended to by officials.

The electoral commission has urged voters in the affected areas to turn out in large numbers to vote for their preferred candidates in the election.

The outcome of this rerun election is expected to have significant implications for the political landscape in Cross River State.
