The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that INEC had declared the December 5 by-election as inconclusive, following the cancellation of results in 14 polling units due to over voting.

Haske said the shifting would allow for proper planning for smooth conduct of the poll. “In fact, it is impossible to rectify all the problems within two days,” he said.
