In the video, the agents were seen insisting that the ballot papers be counted before voting could begin, with one of them questioning the number presented at the polling location.
“If you count it again, am sure it won’t be up to 100, and they claimed they brought 594 for us and now is not up to 594,” one of the agents said.
An INEC official at the location reportedly explained that the discrepancy was a mistake made during the counting.
The agents, however, demanded that the ballot papers be counted again, insisting that voting will not commence if the number did not tally with the 594 they were expecting.
“Count again and if it doesn’t complete, we won’t vote,” the agents reportedly said.
