Voting in the by-election for the Zuru State Constituency seat in the Kebbi State House of Assembly ended peacefully on Saturday across the 200 polling units in Zuru Local Government Area, with attention shifting to the collation of results.
Party supporters, journalists, election observers and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission were at collation centres awaiting the announcement of results.
The exercise recorded low voter turnout in several polling units despite the deployment of security personnel and the presence of election officials.
Earlier in the day, residents of Zuru town were observed going about their normal activities, with shops and markets remaining open as voting commenced.
Security operatives were stationed at polling units visited by our correspondent, and no major security breaches were reported during the election.
