I believe INEC has flouted Section 68 (c) in respect of Bayelsa West Senatorial District where the Returning Officer declared the results but INEC unilaterally annulled the election rather than adhere to the Electoral Act. INEC erred for ordering a re-run in that Senatorial District.
Decision of Returning Officer on Ballot Paper
Section 68 of the Electoral Act
(1)The decision of the Returning Officer on any question arising from or
relating to-
(a) unmarked ballot paper; (b) rejected ballot paper; and
(c) declaration of scores of candidates and the return of a candidate, shall be final subject to review by a tribunal or Court in an election petition proceedings under this Act.
