Kaduna LG Polls: APC loses in El-Rufai’s polling unit

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost Saturday’s chairmanship and councillorship elections in Governor Nasir el-Rufai’s polling unit, as the main opposition party, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) won both elections.

El-Rufai had earlier voted at his Polling Unit 01 Ungwar Sarki, Kaduna North local government area of the state, where he said his target was not to win all the polls but to improve the voting process and ensure that nobody can rig this and future polls using the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM).

The presiding officer of the polling unit, Mr Muhammad Sani, while announcing the result immediately after the election on Saturday evening, said APC polled 62 votes in the chairmanship election, while PDP scored 86 votes, ZLP scored five votes, PRP scored four votes, SDP scored one vote and APP scored one vote out of the 159 total votes cast.

In the Councillorship election, APC also polled 53 votes, while PDP polled 100 votes, ZLP won two votes, PRP scored two votes and NNPP scored one vote out of the 162 total votes cast.
