“One of the SPOs carted 41 Result Sheets out of the 42 Result sheets meant for the 89 polling units in the affected wards.

 

“Over 40, 000 voters were not able to vote in the affected areas due to the development,” he said

 

The Returning Officer said some of the polling units did not get deployment of electoral officials due to cases of gunshots.
