The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has scheduled Saturday, March 23, for supplementary elections in Ebonyi.

The supplementary elections are due to inconclusive elections in some polling units in the 2019 Governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.

“Consequently, supplementary elections will take place in affected polling units in the three state constituencies where elections were inconclusive,’’ Ezeani said in a statement.
