INEC conducts rescheduled elections in Jigawa

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced the conduct of rescheduled elections in four polling units as against one as earlier announced in Gwaram local government area of Jigawa state.

The elections were rescheduled for Sunday following the failure of card reader to function at Saturday’s general election.

Earlier, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Dr. Mahmood Isa, told Daily Trust that the rescheduled elections were taking place in one polling unit.

But the Speaker of Jigawa state House of Assembly, Idris Garba Gwaram, confirmed the rescheduled election in four polling units while speaking with newsmen in his home town of Gwaram.
