The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the Adamawa governorship election inconclusive.
The collation officer said a winner could not be declared because the number of collected PVCs at over 37,000 is more than the margin of lead by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri over his challenger Aishatu Binani of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Making the final announcement at end of collation about 7.30pm Monday, Muhammed Mele indicated, amidst a rowdy crowd of PDP agents and supporters who opposed the declaration, that a repeat election will be held in the affected places.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had been set to win the poll after polling a total of 421,524 votes.
This was against the 390,275 votes scored by his closest challenger, Senator Aishatu Binani of APC.
