THE Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the governorship election held last Saturday in Adamawa State inconclusive.
The election umpire said its decision was due to the margin of votes recorded in the election by the contestants.
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Senator Aishatu Dahiru, popularly known as Binani, scored 390, 275 while the incumbent governor of the state and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ahmadu Fintiri, polled 421,524.
The State Collation Officer, Prof. Mohammed Mele, said there were 69 polling units where elections were cancelled and therefore affected no fewer than 37,016 potential voters with PVCs in those units.
