Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it would on Tuesday (today) announce a new date for supplementary governorship election in Adamawa State.
This comes after a State High Court in Yola on Tuesday lifted the interlocutory injunction restraining INEC from conducting supplementary governorship election in the state.
The commission made the announcement in a tweet on Tuesday.
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Hammadu Fintiri, is ahead with a 32,476-vote margin from the first election after polling 367,471 votes while incumbent governor, Jubrilla Bindow, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had 334,995 votes.
In declaring the election inconclusive, INEC said the margin recorded by Fintiri was lower than 40,998 votes cancelled in 40 polling units scattered over 14 council areas of the state.
