ADC Suspends Jigawa Primary Collation
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended the collation of its primary election results in Jigawa State after reports of violence and irregularities.
The decision was announced as tensions rose during the ongoing internal party process. Party officials said the move was taken to prevent further breakdown of order.
Where the incident happened was Jigawa State during the collation exercise of the ADC primary elections. Supporters and officials were said to have been caught in unrest that disrupted the process.
The situation forced organisers to halt proceedings at the venue.
Why the collation was stopped was due to growing concerns over violence and alleged irregularities linked to the exercise.
Party leaders said continuing under such conditions could affect credibility and safety. They stressed the need to restore calm before any further steps are taken.
How the process will continue remains unclear as the party has suspended the collation indefinitely.
ADC officials are expected to review the situation and decide on a new plan for completing the exercise. Security concerns are also expected to guide the next line of action.
