The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Adamawa State governorship election inconclusive.
As at the time the election was declared inconclusive by INEC’s Returning Officer, the incumbent governor, Ahmadu Fintiri had polled 421,524 votes to lead Aisha Dahiru, popularly known as Binani, who got 390,275 votes.
The declaration of the election inconclusive elicited serious brawl at the State Collation Centre, as agent of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) protested the decision.
INEC said the cancelled votes were more than the margin of victory between Fintiri and the runner-up, Dahiru.
