Security agencies and electoral officials on Saturday embarked on a joint monitoring exercise across Polling Units in Dawakin Kudu and Warawa Local Government Areas as the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency bye-election progressed under peaceful conditions.

Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, Commissioner of Police in Kano State, joined the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano and members of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) to inspect the conduct of the poll and assess compliance with electoral procedures.

The monitoring team visited several polling units across the two Local Government Areas to evaluate the deployment of security personnel, the performance of INEC officials and the level of adherence by voters to electoral guidelines.
