APC, PDP row over election violence disrupts INEC Stakeholders meeting in Bayelsa

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stakeholders meeting was on yesterday brought to abrupt end due to open shouting bout between Chieftains of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (,PDP) over the contentious issue of people displaced in the 2019 general election.

The two party chieftains, Chief Francis Doukpola, the Chairman of the PDP Bayelsa Elders Forum and the representative of the APC, engage in the rowdy session which started at about 1 p.m. during the second round of comments/discussion session by leaders of political parties.

However, the peaceful event, which had started for over two hours, took new turn when Chief Francis Doukpola, the Chairman of the PDP Bayelsa Elders Forum was making his remarks and touched on issues of Internally Displaced persons (IDP) arising from the violence that rocked the Presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

 Doukpola  expressed concern about the issue of Internally Displaced Persons in the state as a result of electoral violence in the  2019 general elections.
