ADSIEC extends deadline for party primaries

The Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC), has announced two weeks extension of deadline for political parties to conclude primaries for candidates participating in the November council polls in the state.

The Executive Chairman of the commission, Alhaji Isa Shettima, made this known on Wednesday in a statement issued in Yola.
He explained that the change was as a result of the Eid el-Kabir festivity, adding that the deadline had now been shifted to Sept. 21, as against the initial Aug. 31.
Shettima also said that all dates scheduled for other activities as contained in the election timetable earlier issued, remained unchanged.
African Democratic Congress (ADC), All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) have indicated interest to participate in the election and had since commenced the sales of forms to candidates.
