Nigeria’s ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was losing the parliamentary election in an embarrassing fashion in places where yesterday’s National Assembly elections took place, according to preliminary election numbers in Kaduna, Benue, Gombe, Katsina, Nassarawa and Lagos
The elections were in progress before an unprecedented logistical collapse compelled the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel them as the agency had failed to deliver voting materials to millions of voters across the nation on Saturday.
Meanwhile, major opposition parties met in Abuja earlier today and plan to meet with INEC chairman, Mahmud Jega later to deliver a unanimous request that the election, now rescheduled for tomorrow, April 4, be cancelled by INEC and postponed for at least one week.
