“Elections were not held in 47 wards, affecting 69 polling units.

“So, this gives us a margin of 31,249. The total number of PVCs collected in places where elections were not held amounted to 37,016.”

“Based on these findings and analysis as stated in the electoral laws” where the margin between two candidates is lesser than the total number of collected PVCs in areas where elections were not held, the election is declared inconclusive,” he said.
