The Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has hired the services of 24,930 adhoc staff, 379 collation officers and
37 returning officers for the Rivers state electoral re-runs.
INEC is conducting a re-run election in three senatorial districts,
12 federal constituencies and 22 state constituencies on Saturday, March 19,
2016, in agreement with the appeal tribunal which invalidated the polls which
took place previously.
The Nigeria Police has also deployed over 6,000 personnel to the
State ahead of the re-run election to avoid any disorderliness and ensure the
election is free and fair.
