The Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission, OYSIEC, is in a fix over the conduct of the chairmanship, councilorship election in Ido local government area.

While supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were said to be mounting on officials of OYSIEC to declare its candidates winners, the leadership of the Zenith Labour Party, ZLP, are saying they cannot go on with tomorrow’s rescheduled election.

OYOINSIGHT.COM had reported how OYSIEC boss, Aare Abiola Olagunju, while speaking on Fresh 105.9 FM, announced cancellation of the election following the omission of the ZLP logo on the ballot papers.

But despite the logo omission and subsequent cancellation of poll, OYOINSIGHT.COM learnt that election continued. PDP supporters are said to be at the OYSIEC headquarters, calling for the announcement of winners, an action the commission has refused.

The senior advocate had said that the election would be reconducted tomorrow after  assurance from the printer to deliver a fresh ballot tonight.

But in a letter written to the commission, ZLP is asking for postponement, saying that it would need more time to source fund and human resources needed to be deployed for the poll.

Ido, OYOINSIGHT.COM understands, is the only council the ZLP is contesting the council election in the state.

Though the commission was said to have been persuaded by the commission to allow the election go on as rescheduled for tomorrow, ZLP is threatening to go to court if it takes place tomorrow.
