The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has pledged to conclude two outstanding state assembly rerun elections in Rivers state next year, reports Vanguard

INEC had last weekend moved to conclude all the 22 rerun elections in the state, but was forced to cancel the exercise in two constituencies in Etche.

Chairman of the Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu stated this on Friday at the opening of a two-day workshop organized by the commission for some journalists in Abuja.

He said there were 70 incidences of deliberate obstruction of the election process in Rivers state, adding that the commission has documented all the cases and is reviewing them for possible prosecution in line with its guidelines.
