The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) in Jigawa state has
announced the postponement of election in seven out of eleven federal
constituencies. According to the resident electoral commissioner in the
state, Alhaji Halliru Aliyu Tambawel, the postponement was as a result
of lack of sensitive materials including ballot papers and results
sheets from the Central Bank of Nigeria to be used for the elections.

be a postponement includes Dutse/Kiyawa, Ringim/ Taura, HadeJia/Kafin
Hausa/Auyo, and Jahun Miga federal Constituencies of Jigawa state,
