Rising from an emergency exco meeting in Abuja on Sunday, Labour Party, LP, has called for the cancellation of the ongoing presidential election as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, cannot upload results into its server from the polling units.
The national chairman of the party, Julius Abure, made the call, saying INEC had given room for doubt in the credibility of the process.
Abure described the inability of INEC to upload results after over 12 hours as worrisome, calling it electoral robbery.
He claimed that the party was robbed of victory in some states such as Lagos, Rivers, Edo, Delta and Imo following alarming manipulation of BVAS machines and uploading of fake results , orchestrated violence by thugs believed to have been sponsored by state governments during the presidential and national assembly elections which held on Saturday .
He therefore called for a rerun of the presidential poll to make for fairness
