Election observation team of the EU, U.S and UK have given their initial observation on the conduct of the rerun governorship election in Osun State.
The observers gave their stance while addressing journalists in Osogbo in an interview televised by the TVC television station.
A member of the observer team, who spoke on behalf of the team, said the U.S. EU and UK observers had heard reports of irregularities, harassment and interference by inappropriate persons in the elections.
“We are very concerned by these reports and will be checking with stakeholders to check the facts. We call on all stakeholders to remain calm,” he said.
Earlier, the Centre for Democracy and Development, one of the foremost observer groups in Nigeria, faulted the rerun election process.
Votes were cancelled in seven polling units in four local governments where the rerun election was held on Thursday.
The final results of the rerun election were being collated as at the time of this report although results from the polling units showed the APC in the lead.
