The All Progressives Congress candidate for the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency bye-election in Kaduna State, Joseph Bagudu, has applauded residents for turning out in large numbers during Saturday’s supplementary polls.
After casting his vote at Polling Unit 003 in Ungwan Madaki, Kajuru Local Government Area, Bagudu described the process as peaceful and well-organised. He said the high participation reflected strong public interest in choosing a new representative for the constituency.
The election, conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission, followed the death of Labour Party lawmaker Ekene Adams, who held the seat until July 2024. The poll was organised to fill the vacant position in the House of Representatives.
Bagudu expressed confidence in his chances, linking the turnout to growing support for the ruling party in Kaduna. He pointed to Governor Uba Sani’s leadership as a factor shaping voter sentiment.
He also appealed to residents to maintain calm and avoid acts capable of disrupting the exercise. According to him, peaceful participation is essential to ensuring that the election process is free of conflict.
