He said the Commission has completed the reconciliation of election results in the two constituencies where the supplementary elections would take place.

The REC said: “INEC will retain all logistics used during the last general elections while it will also reactivate all the Registration Area Centres (RACs) in Okigwe Onuimo and Isiala Mbano local government areas for camping on the eve of the election for easy deployment of materials to the polling units on election day.”
