The electoral body has also fixed
December 5 as the date for the
supplementary elections in 91 polling
units where elections were cancelled.
Audu was the original candidate of APC
before his death.
The results of the elections from 21 local
government areas in the State already

the two leading contenders amounts to
41, 353 while the total number of
cancelled votes is 49, 953 from 91 polling
units, in 18 local government areas.
