Our correspondent reports that accreditation of voters using the card reader commenced at 8.00am, while the actual voting began at 1.30pm.
As at the time of filing in this report, results were beginning to trickle in from the various polling units to the Mkpani Secondary School which is serving as the collation Center.
According to our correspondent, the leadership of PDP and APC in the area reached a last minute accord to vote PDP in the Yakurr 11 State Constituency, meaning that the actual contest is between PDP and LP.
