There was heavy presence of security operatives during the re-run election held on Saturday, in two polling units of Saki West State Constituency of Oyo State House of Assembly.
The affected polling units are Odo-osun 007 in Ogidigbo area and Ogbalanja polling unit 019 in Sepeteri/Bapon registration area.
It was also observed that officials of Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, were on ground at the two polling units to prevent vote buying.
The atmosphere at the two polling units was peaceful as voters performed their civic rights without hindrance or intimidation.
The rerun election in Saki West state constituency was as a result of the ruling of an Appeal court on the judgement of the 2023 Election petition tribunal.
According to the court, the election recorded electoral malpractices ranging from over-voting in the affected polling units and by-passing of BVAS during accreditation of voters.
