The number of political parties that will participate in Saturday’s rerun election for Gokana Constituency of Rivers State has been reduced by one, after the withdrawal of the People’s Party of Nigeria (PPN).
The party stated that it was pulling-out of the election due to the improper conduct of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stating that the rerun was not necessary.
The Chairman of PPN, Razak Eyiowuawi, and the party’s National Secretary, Alhaji Ibrahim Garba Yakasai stated that the rerun election amounted to the electoral body’s double standard.
Reports have it that a letter was addressed to the INEC National Chairman, Prof Mahmoud Yakubu to notify him that their party will no longer participate in the rerun election of Gokana State Constituency slated for Saturday.
