Chairman of the electoral umpire, Mahmood Yakubu who disclosed this at a meeting with leaders of political parties in Abuja on Monday said nobody chose to vote in these polling units.

The INEC chief urged parties to ensure that only accredited party agents are allowed into the polling areas, and only those with INEC ID cards would be allowed.

He also appealed to them to call their candidates and supporters to order owing to violent attacks that have been recorded in some of the campaigns.

The meeting is to bring the political parties up to speed with all the preparations for the elections and to remind the parties about their obligations.

Eighteen political parties are participating in the elections and some of their chairmen and other members of their National Working Committee (NWC) are in attendance.
