[html]The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is set to conduct supplementary elections in the states where the governorship elections and some House of Assembly elections were declared inconclusive.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is set to conduct supplementary elections in the states where the governorship elections and some House of Assembly elections were declared inconclusive.
The supplementary elections will be taking place today, Saturday, March 23.
The governorship elections were declared inconclusive in six states, namely; Bauchi, Adamawa, Plateau, Sokoto, Benue and Kano states.
However, only five of the affected states will be participating in the re-run elections as INEC has postponed the supplementary election in Adamawa state following a court order.
Thus, as residents of the concerned areas in the affected states troop out to cast their votes for their candidates, Legit.ng is on ground to give insightful and verified live updates of the elections.
