The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has ordered a re-run election for the House of Representatives at Ugo and Evboesi, Orhionmwon and Uhunwunde Local Government areas of Edo State.
The Collation Officer, Joseph Osemwenkhae, said the election was rescheduled because the election did not hold in the units due to logistics hitches.
