Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has ordered a re-election for House of Representatives at Ugo and Evboesi and some other units in Orhionmwon and Uhunwunde Local Government Areas of Edo.

The Collation Officer, Prof. Joseph Osemwenkhae, said the order for re-election had become imperative, as scheduled elections could not hold in those units due some logistics hitches.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that re-election is scheduled for March 11.
