The supplementary elections being organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 36 polling units across 15 local governments of Bauchi State has so far witnessed large turnout of voters.
In some of the polling units visited by our reporter, voters arrived the polling units as early as 7.30 a.m.
Some of the voters on queue informed PREMIUM TIMES that they came out as early as 7a.m. to cast their votes.“This supplementary elections gave us a rare opportunity to reaffirm our position after some persons robbed us of our ballots,” said Hannatu Usman, a resident of Dott village. The turnout surpassed those of presidential and main governorship elections held weeks ago. It was very orderly and the security have been impressive.
“The local government chairman came with the thugs who are not accredited voters in this polling unit. We don’t know them and we immediately insisted they leave. Thank God the police helped us to usher them out,” said Hassan, one of the domestic observers.
