ABUJA-The  Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has scheduled National Assembly elections in the outstanding wards of Ekeremor and Sagbama local government areas of Bayelsa State for Thursday, April 28, 2011.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the chairman of INEC, Mr Kayode Idowu, said this was as a result of the inconclusive elections held in Bayelsa West senatorial district (comprising Sagbama and Ekeremor LGAs) and the Ekeremor/Sagbama Federal Constituency on April 9, 2011.

He said  “following the April 9 elections, results were announced for four wards out of 14 in Sagbama LGA by the Returning Officer for the senatorial election.

“Investigations by INEC showed that elections did not hold in the 12 wards in Ekeremor. The Commission has resolved that the National Assembly elections be conducted in the remaining 10 wards of Sagbama LGA and the 12 wards of Ekeremor LGA on April 28.
