Adamawa State Government House
Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has declared Ahmadu Fintiri as the winner of the Adamawa State governorship election.
The Returning Officer, Muhammed Melee, declared incumbent Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP winner on Tuesday after polling 430,861 votes to defeat his major counterpart Aisha Binani of the All Progressives, APC who polled 398,788.
INEC reopened the collation centre for the supplementary election results on Tuesday. The supplementary election held in the state on Saturday, April 15, after the election of March 18 was declared inconclusive by INEC, following certain irregularities.
The collation exercise in the state was stopped on Sunday after the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari, declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Binani, the winner of the election, which led the commission on Monday to ask Hudu to stay away from the office.
