PDP calls for cancellation of Elections in 7 Northern States

The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to withdraw the presidential and National Assembly elections in seven states of the federation for alleged electoral malpractices.

The Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus who made this call at a media briefing in Abuja, listed the seven states as Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, Gombe, Bauchi, Katsina and Kogi States.
