Today, 23 March 2019, Nigerians would vote in the governorship and State House of Assembly Supplementary elections in Nigeria.

Naija News reports that Saturday’s supplementary elections will take place in eighteen (18) states.

“In Adamawa state, elections will hold in Nassarawo-Binyeri State Constituency of Mayo Belwa LGA, which was countermanded as required by the Electoral Act following the death of a candidate on the eve of the Governorship and State assembly elections held on 9th March 2019,” the document read.
