The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says there won’t be an election in 240 polling units in the country because no voters were registered there.

Mahmood Yakubu who spoke in Abuja on Monday at a meeting with leaders of political parties that residents refused to register at the affected polling units due to security reasons.

He said no voters chose to register at the polling units or transfer their polling centres there.

“However, there are 240 polling units without registered voters spread across 28 states and the federal capital territory (FCT). They range from one polling unit to 12 polling units in each state and the FCT, except Taraba and Imo states with 34 and 38 polling units respectively,” he said.
