State Assembly Polls: 9 Days After, Results of 183 Constituencies Not Released

 


By Nurat Uthman


Nine days after the March 18 Governorship and State Assembly elections, the results of 183 constituencies across seven states have not been published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).


Some of the polls have been declared inconclusive while the commission is withholding the results in some states.

Also, governorship election results in Kebbi and Adamawa, two of the 28 states where the polls were held have been declared inconclusive.


Meanwhile, the INEC has fixed April 15 for the conduct of supplementary polls for two governorship, 11 Senate, 35 House of Representatives and unnumbered state assembly slots.


Adamawa, Yobe, Jigawa, Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna and Zamfara top states with awaited assembly polls results.


In Adamawa, the INEC Public Affairs Officer, Malam Dahiru Jauro, told Vanguard that “the issue is being handled by the legal department and the man in charge is not on seat. By Wednesday, we will issue certificates of return to the winners so the document (result) will be ready on Tuesday.”


In Sokoto, an official said, “the Acting REC, Auwal Aliyu Kangiwa, just got the list of the results today (yesterday) and we are planning to release it tomorrow (Tuesday).”


In Kaduna, a source said, “we are still waiting for the official Kaduna Assembly elections result. We don’t know why it was delayed.”
