The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, on Monday stated the reason why election will not hold in 240 polling units across the country.

A few weeks to the 2023 general elections, the INEC boss, at an ongoing meeting with leaders of the 18 political parties at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja, said the units did not get new registrants who chose it.

He added that no voters indicated an interest in transferring to them during the last continuous voter registration (CVR) exercise, mainly for security reasons.

“This means that no elections will hold in these polling units,” Yakubu said.

He revealed that the polling units are located in Edo, Kwara, Rivers and Zamfara and Imo States.

He further stated that Imo State has the highest share with 28 polling units.
