The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been criticized for its handling of the recent gubernatorial re-run election in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The election was marred by violence, with armed thugs hired by the People's Democratic Party (PDP) causing chaos and attacking observers. One observer, Dr. Abubakar Monmoh, was injured with machete cuts. The election was suspended in two wards due to the tension generated by the re-run. There were also disputes over the results of the elections in Ido-Osi, with the state Resident Electoral Commissioner leaving Ado-Ekiti as a result.
