The gubernatorial election in Adamawa state has been declared inconclusive by the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Barrister Hudu Yunusa.
The decision came on the heels of the arguments about the results of 21 local government areas reeled out by the agents of political parties at the collation centre in Yola.
Yunusa had earlier declared the figures of the two leading candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Ahmadu Fintiri and his All Progressive Congress counterpart, Senator Aishatu Dahiru.
According to him, Fintiri of the PDP polled 421,524, while Senator Binani of the APC garnered 390,275 voted.
However, the frustration of the protesting agents suspected to be that of the APC was that elections were cancelled in over 40 wards and polling units, while the PDP agents countered by alleging that the ‘power from above’ was hellbent on rigging the election in favour of the APC.
The PDP agents also submitted that the cancelled wards and polling units are as a result of over-voting and irregularities.
