The election is taking place across the state’s local governments and wards, with polling units opening in the morning. Electoral materials were seen at various locations as officials commenced the process.
The PDP pulled out of the race a day earlier, citing lack of confidence in the electoral body and the cost of nomination and expression of interest forms. The party said these issues made participation unfair for opposition groups.
BOSIEC responded by saying no party would be compelled to take part in the election. The commission said the fees were set after discussions with political parties and followed agreed terms.
As voting continues, attention remains on turnout and the conduct of the exercise, especially with a major opposition party opting out. The outcome will determine leadership at the local level across Borno State.
