Voters in some polling units in Jos, Plateau State, have protested the inadequate supply of ballot papers by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for Saturday’s re-run elections.
In one of the polling units in Salama Junction Polling Unit of Kabong Ward, voters stopped when they realized there were only 100 ballots papers for house of representative and 1000 ballot papers for Senate.
A similar thing happened in polling unit 015 inside GSS Chwelnyap in Jos north Local Government Area as they had ballot papers for House of Reps only but none for senate.
Apparently, the voters in cue simply withdrew in protest, saying the shortage in the supply of adequate ballot papers was a deliberate action by the INEC to compromise the election.
We will not resume voting until the ballot papers are complete,” the voters chorused.
