EkitiCounting of votes has started in the rerun election held in Demsa, Lamurde and Numan Federal Constituencies of Adamawa State in north-east Nigeria.

There was low voters’ turnout in the Saturday election following rumours that a Federal High Court in Abuja had issued an order suspending the election.

The voting process has been peaceful so far and counting of votes has commenced in most polling units.

No violence has been reported so far.

The re-run election was held to fill the seats in the Federal Constituencies.

The Resident Electoral Officer in charge of Adamawa State Baba Yusuf told Channels Television in Yola the state capital that it was going ahead with the elections, as the commission did not get any notice not to conduct the poll.

Accreditation and voting held simultaneously in the areas, with security personnel present to ensure that the exercise was peaceful.

Polls in the affected areas were rescheduled following 2015 Appeal Court ruling which nullified the election of Laor Kwamoti of the Social Democratic Party (SDP)
