The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the collation of results of the Bayelsa governorship election held on Saturday and Sunday is to resume 10am today, Monday.

Results from three local governments were still being expected at 9pm yesterday when the first part of the exercise closed.

Ijaw South Local Government Area is one of the areas where results were still being expected as election in the local government was rescheduled to Sunday owing to major disturbances and challenges experienced by the electoral body.

The Sunday election, however, started late because of the peculiarity of the riverine area and the challenge of securing electoral officials and materials which eventually arrived late.

Earlier in the evening, there were reports that ex-militants had disrupted the election in Amassoma ward of the LGA.

The militants carrying firearms were said to have chased away the voters and INEC officials conducting the exercise in the area.
