ADC Postpones Collation of Presidential Primary Results

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has delayed the collation of its presidential primary election results.

In a statement issued late Tuesday, Chief Ikechi Emenike, Chairman of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, explained that the postponement was made to accommodate party members who are Muslims celebrating Eid al‑Kabir.

Emenike added that the collation for the remaining states would begin at 8 p.m. today, noting that some returning officers had faced flight difficulties reaching Abuja.

“We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters celebrating Sallah to participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive in Abuja later today,” Emenike said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that results from 24 states and the Federal Capital Territory had already been announced by various state returning officers, leaving 12 states pending before the postponement.

States that have announced results include Borno, Kebbi, Anambra, Abia, Ekiti, Ondo, Gombe, Oyo, Imo, Yobe, Nasarawa, Enugu, Benue, Osun, Adamawa, and Kogi.

The remaining states are Kano, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Zamfara, and the FCT. (NAN)
