The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has taken an early lead in the chairmanship race at polling units in Kubwa, Bwari Area Council, as results from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council election begin to emerge.
Collated results announced by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from four polling units located at LEA Primary School, Kubwa II, indicate that the ADC is ahead of other contenders.
The contest in Bwari Area Council is largely between the ADC and the All Progressives Congress (APC), following the last-minute withdrawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairmanship candidate in support of the APC flag bearer.
So far, the ADC has secured a total of 67 votes across the four polling units, while the APC trails with 40 votes. The Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) polled 21 votes, and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) garnered 20 votes.
However, the exercise has been characterized by low voter turnout and reports of vote buying.
Out of 4,063 registered voters at the polling center, only 181 voters were accredited and cast their ballots.
