The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) erred in declaring the governorship election
in Adamawa State inconclusive because the margin of lead was lower than the number of registered voters in places where voting was cancelled.
The PDP had polled 367,472 votes; as against the next leading party, the All Progressives Congress , which received 334,995 votes after results from the state’s 21 LGAs had been collated by Monday morning; but INEC declared the election inconclusive on the argument that the margin of lead by the PDP, which was 32,467 votes, was lower than the number of registered voters, 40,948 in 44 polling units where elections either did not hold or were cancelled.
The party said it rejected declaration of the election as inconclusive and demanded that INEC rescind its decision and declare the PDP candidate, Rt Hon Umaru Fintiri, as the winner.
