The African Democratic Congress has postponed the collation of results for its presidential primary election.
Chairman of the Presidential Primary Election Committee, Ikechi Emenike, announced the development late Tuesday, explaining that the exercise was suspended to allow Muslim members of the party observe Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
Emenike said the collation of results from the remaining states would resume by 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, adding that some returning officers were unable to arrive in Abuja on time due to flight delays.
“We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters to celebrate sallah, participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive Abuja later today,” he said.
Before the postponement, results from 24 states and the Federal Capital Territory had already been declared by state returning officers, while results from several other states were still being awaited.
