The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it has challenged the order of a Federal High Court in Abuja, ordering it to stop the collation of the governorship election results in Bauchi State.
INEC said the commission has filed a ‘motion on notice`, challenging the jurisdiction of the court in granting the order.
The Commission however said it would comply with the order had its motion of notice not been taken.
A Federal High Court in Abuja had barred INEC from resuming the collation and announcement of governorship election result in Bauchi.
INEC initially declared the governorship election in Bauchi, along with the elections in Benue, Plateau, Sokoto, Kano and inconclusive.
It also announced that supplementary elections would take place on 23 March. But in a sudden twist, INEC said it would no longer hold supplementary elections in the contentious Tafawa Balewa Local Government, where it said the result of the poll on March 9 was torn by an armed gang.
