Gatekeepers News reports that there are 18 candidates competing to succeed Willie Obiano as governor of the state.
Also, the election which was held on Saturday was extended to Sunday due to widespread condemnation of glitches experienced by the BVAS across the state, and the late arrival of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials and materials.
