In accordance with the electoral laws, INEC has declared the election inconclusive due to the high number of cancellations and overvoting. The PDP representative at the collation center, Alhaji Sani Dododo, refused to sign the results, insisting that INEC must announce the total figure of overvoting and cancellations made in the 20 affected local government areas.

The declaration of the Kebbi State governorship election as inconclusive means that a rerun election will be conducted in the affected areas. INEC has assured the people of Kebbi State that a new date will be fixed for the rerun election, and that all necessary arrangements will be made to ensure a free, fair, and credible exercise.

The commission has also urged political parties and their supporters to maintain peace and avoid any action that could undermine the integrity of the electoral process. INEC reiterated its commitment to conducting free, fair, and credible elections in Nigeria, and called on all stakeholders to support its efforts in this regard.
