LG Elections: El-Rufai Loses Polling Unit To PDP

The Kaduna local government elections held on September 4, 2021, were conducted using electronic voting machines.

 

Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has lost his Ungwar Sarki polling unit in Kaduna North Local Government Area to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

El-Rufai, a member of the All Progressive Congress, had earlier voted at the polling unit where he also declared that he is not desperate to win at all costs, but to improve the voting process using the Electronic Voting Machine.

According to the Governor, the introduction of the electronic voting system by his administration has clearly shown that the APC-led government in Kaduna state does not believe in cheating or rigging election.
