Voting has ended in many polling units in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states for the governorship elections in the three states.

Voting ended around 3pm in polling units observed by Channels Television’s correspondents in the three states.

Electoral officials thereafter crossed the unused ballot papers as stipulated in the electoral law.

The exercise has moved into sorting and counting of votes.

In most polling units monitored by our correspondents on Saturday, accreditation of voters and voting commenced simultaneously at 08:30am.


The decision of who become the next governor of the three states rests on the electorate as over five million voters in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states go to the polls today.
