Adamawa governorship poll declared inconclusive

The Independent National Electoral Commission says the Adamawa State governorship election is inconclusive and a new date for the rerun election would be announced.

The Returning Officer, Prof. Andrew Haruna, confirmed the development at the governorship election collation centre in Yola in the early hours of Monday.

Haruna said the number of cancellations was higher than the margin of lead votes between the two contestants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party and, therefore, a new date for the rerun election would be fixed.

Haruna mentioned about 44 polling units affected across the state.
