The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and its presidential candidate have rejected the presidential election results declared so far by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and called for a cancellation of the entire exercise.
NNPP National Chairman, Professor Rufai Ahmed Alkali, made this known during a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.
Alkali said the party called for the suspension of the collation of the presidential election results currently ongoing at the National Collation Centre in Abuja.
He stated that the election was marred by numerous irregularities ranging from vote buying, violence, voters’ disenfranchisement, and Bimodal Voters’ Accreditation System (BVAS) malfunctioning, among others.
Alkali, therefore, called for total cancellation of the entire process, saying the election results declared so far did not reflect the wishes of Nigerians.
The NNPP stated that INEC has taken the country back to the pre-2014 era where ballot-snatching, vote buying, and connivance of security agents among other negativities was the order of the day.
