The coalition of accredited independent National electoral commission (INEC) observers have commended the efforts of the electoral officials during the just concluded gubernatorial supplementary poll in Kano .

The spokesperson of the coalition Dr Ibrahim Bala stated this during a media briefing in Kano on Monday.

He said despite reports of election-related violence and intimidation, the overall political climate in Kano during the supplementary polls was peaceful and conducive on Saturday March 23, 2019.

He stated that the coalition was satisfied with the collaborative relationship between INEC and inter agency consultative committee on election security.
