The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at the weekend, vowed to reject any attempt by the party in power to introduce the use of electronic voting system in the anticipated local government elections in the state.
Chairman of PDP in the state, Hassan Hyet, stated this in his speech shortly after witnessing the swearing in ceremony of the Kaduna North PDP ward executives.
The state governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai had given a hint earlier at an interview session with journalists that his administration would adopt electronic voting in conducting local government election in the State.
However, Hyet, who was represented at the occasion by the party’s secretary in the state, Ibrahim Wusono, stated emphatically that, “if the information we are gathering concerning the anticipated and long over due local government elections in the state is anything to go by, that is, the introduction of electronic voting for local government polls, we will reject it”.
He, therefore, called on party members to get set more than ever before to ensure that the party gets back that which rightfully belong to her, stressing that “the leadership of the party both at the national and state level is working relentlessly to bounce back in 2019 and in all elections before then, so we urge you at the local government and ward levels to key in.
On the security challenges in the southern part of the state, he said the state government needed to be more proactive in addressing the situation holistically without necessarily playing politics with the lives of citizens.
