The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano state has resumed the collation of the
governorship election results in the state.
The electoral body had suspended
the collation of the results due to what it called “disturbing report of
disrupting collation process at Nasarawa local government by some people that
led to the destruction of some election results.”
Results from 43 of Kano’s 44
local government areas had been announced, and Abba Yusuf, governorship
candidate of the PDP, was leading Abdullahi Ganduje, incumbent governor and
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP candidate had polled
960,004 votes while Ganduje was able to secure 953,522 votes.
Nasarawa local government remains
the only region whose result is yet to be announced in Kano.
However, Riskuwa Shehu, the state
resident electoral commissioner (REC), said the electoral body is bent on
concluding the collation process, and will use its primary and secondary
results from polling units and ward levels.
The collation of results in the
state is ongoing as of the time of filing this report.
