It was a thing of shock yesterday at the Anambra state
office of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as staff and
political stalwarts discovered INEC Result sheet Form EC8As for Presidential
election meant for use in Bauchi state in the general elections.
The commission’s Head of Operation in the state, Elder Ata
Ewa who confirmed the mixed up, however, stated that they have alerted the INEC
headquarters in Abuja over the discovery.
INEC officials who were sorting out the sensitive electoral
materials, distributing them to the various 21 local governments in the state
were shocked in the early hours of yesterday when they discovered in one of the
sealed packs that some Form EC 8A Results sheets for Presidential election in
Buachi state were contained in the packs, also, containing some result sheets
for election in the state.
The INEC staff there adopted careful checking of the various
packs and discovered further that there were mixed up of different results
sheets meant for the polls in different local government areas in the state.
