Kaduna LG Polls: PDP wins El-Rufai’s polling unit
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has claimed victory at Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s Ungwar Sarki polling unit in Kaduna North Local Government Area for the chairmanship and councillorship seats.
El-Rufai, a member of the All Progressive Congress, who had voted earlier at the same polling unit, said that his priority was not to win at all costs, but to improve the voting process using the Electronic Voting Machine.
According to the Governor, the introduction of the electronic voting system by his administration has clearly shown that the APC-led government in Kaduna state does not believe in cheating or rigging election.
Announcing the election result, the Presiding Officer of the Unit, Muhammad Sani, said the APC polled 62 votes in the chairmanship election, while the PDP scored 86 votes out of the 159 votes cast.
In the councillorship election, APC also polled 53 votes, while PDP garnered 100 votes out of 162 total votes cast.
