The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has postponed the ongoing collation of results from its presidential primary election.

Chairman of the party’s Presidential Primary Election Committee, Ikechi Emenike, announced the postponement on Tuesday night.

He attributed the postponement to the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations and logistical challenges faced by some returning officers.

According to Emenike, the remaining collation process will resume at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

“We are postponing the collation to allow our brothers and sisters celebrating Sallah to participate in the religious activity and to enable returning officers who had flight challenges to arrive in Abuja later today,” he said.
