The commission will, however, hold supplementary elections for two seats in the state House of Assembly.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has postponed the supplementary governorship election in Adamawa State it earlier scheduled for Saturday.Instead, INEC said it will only hold supplementary elections in two State House of Assembly constituencies in the state on the same day.
But the injunction did not affect the supplementary polls for the two state legislative seats in the state. “So in relation to Adamawa State, we are going to hold elections in two state constituencies,” Mr Okoye said. Before this decision, Mr Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party was leading his closest rival, Governor Umar Bindow of the APC.
