According to NAN, Othong, a graduate of the University of Calabar in Cross River, made the revelation while submitting results for the area.

The Returning Officer said that the Supervising Polling Officer (SPO) assigned to the area carried away the affected areas’ result sheets.

According to him, no election was held in Oba Ward 1, Oba Ward 11, or Akukwu Ward in Anambra State’s Idemili South Local Government Area.

“One of the SPOs carted 41 Result Sheets out of the 42 Result sheets meant for the 89 polling units in the affected wards.

“Over 40, 000 voters were not able to vote in the affected areas due to the development,” he said.

The Returning Officer said some of the polling units did not get the deployment of electoral officials due to cases of gunshots.

Chief Ebere Obiakor, the agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said there was election in those places but the results were not collated.

But Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, the collation agent of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), countered the position of the APC agent, saying there was no election in any of the affected places.

Sen. Victor Umeh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) corroborated Obiogbolu insisting there was no election in those areas.

Meanwhile, the result for the top three parties in Idemili South were APC- 1,036, APGA-2,312 and PDP-2,016.

Idemili South Local Government Area has a total of 112, 652 voters out of which only 6, 622 were accredited
