Protesters demand announcement of Adamawa governorship election result

Supporters of the PDP in Adamawa state have taken to the streets of Yola, the state capital to demand that the results of last Saturday’s governorship supplementary election be announced.

The protesters first stopped at the office of the independent national electoral commission in Yola where they urged the commission to respect the mandate of the people.

They decried the lack of transparency in the election in Adamawa state which should have been concluded with the first poll held on March 18.

The protesters described the supplementary election held as a charade which should be condemned by all.

INEC had on Sunday suspended collation of the supplementary poll after the resident electoral commissioner in the state declared APC governorship candidate, Aishatu Ahmed, the winner while collation of results was ongoing.
