Adamawa went to the polls Saturday to elect Chairmen for the 21 Local government councils and the 226 councillors in the state.<\/p>\n

The election monitored by Vanguard recorded low turn out of voters as the exercise was completely marked by apathy.<\/p>\n

In Yola North, Yola South, Fufore, Girei, Demsa and Mayo Belwa local government areas where Vanguard monitored the elections, the exercise was characterized by poor organisation and low turn out.<\/p>\n

For instance, in most of the polling stations, voters used tables of food vendors and hawkers to tumb print their ballot papers as there were no provision by the Adamawa<\/a> State Independent Electoral Commission, ADSIEC.<\/p>\n

At the Gwadabawa polling booth 004, election officials confirmed that only 32 voters out of the 978 registered voters turned to exercise their franchise.<\/p>\n

However, some election observers interviewed described the turnout and general conduct of the exercise as credible and impressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
