Omoleke disclosed that the commission decided to suspend elections in the polling units following the violence that mared the conduct of the exercise, noted that as a result of this the commission thereby making the outcome inconclusive, in line with its vow to be neutral and fair to all contenders in any election.

“We are prepared for the election and we won’t deviate from the practice of fairness and neutrality to all political parties.
