Following the nod given by the Adamawa State High Court yesterday to the Independent National Electoral Commission to proceed with the supplementary governorship election in the state, the commission has fixed tomorrow for the poll.
The governorship election in Adamawa remains inconclusive weeks after INEC halted the process on the basis of insufficient margin of win between the two leading candidates of APC and PDP. The decision by INEC to hold the rerun tomorrow followed the vacation of the order against the election by the Adamawa State High Court at a sitting in Yola earlier in the day.
At the sitting yesterday morning, the court presided over by Justice Abdul’Aziz Waziri ruled that it has the jurisdiction to hear the case. Gadzama said he was happy that the judge understood the issues involved and decided to allow INEC to go ahead with the conduct of the election in Adamawa State.Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress in the state has rejected the decision of INEC to hold the extra election tomorrow.
PDP has already won that state
