The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Anambra state, South east Nigeria says it has withheld the results of elections into four constituencies in the state.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mr Edwin Nwatarali who announced the development in Awka, the state capital while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the state assembly elections said they have fixed April 18 for the re-run election.
The commissioner listed the areas where elections were rescheduled as Ekwusigo, where violence erupted during the poll, Aguata 1, Uga ward, Anaocha 1and Anaocha 2 where manual accreditation was used without justification.
Nwatarali also announced the results of 25 constituencies while one constituency, Anambra West, was still being collated.
He said that the four outstanding constituencies would have rescheduled elections due to electoral malpractice in the area during the Saturday polls.
Nwatarali said that of the 30 available seats, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) had won in the 25 constituencies so far concluded.
The 25 constituencies so far declared were mostly won by incumbent lawmakers.
Anambra is one of the states where governorship election was not conducted.
