Anyanwu vowed not to accept the results of the poll.
Hear him, “I have evidence that one of the thugs is a member of the House of Assembly.
“In the process of snatching the ballot boxes, the lawmaker’s Identity Card fell off, and I have it here with me.
“I call on INEC to consider the available evidence and cancel the results of elections in the affected areas.”
