The witnesses of the Action Congress of Nigeria
on the Kwara State governorship election on Wednesday told the
Election Petitions Tribunal in Ilorin that there were electoral
malpractises in some councils and wards in the state.
The ACN and its governorship candidate, Mr. Dele Belgore, had dragged the Peoples Democratic Party, its candidate, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed and his running mate, Mr. Peter Kishira, to the tribunal.
Also joined as parties to the petition are the Independent National Electoral Commission and its Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state.
The ACN is seeking an outright cancellation of the election results in Ifelodun, Moro, Asa, Baruten, and other councils it claimed there were irregularities.
One of the witnesses, Miss Moni Oladokun, told the three- member tribunal chaired by Justice Ngozi Emehelu that voting began at Elemere in Moro at about 10am, as against the 12.30pm when it should have started.
