Osun Re-run: Drama At Polling Units As Voters Defy Heavy Rainfall

There was gentle show at Polling Unit 17, Ward 5, Adewale Street, Alekuwodo, Osogbo, when voters that turned out to partake in the Osun governorship re-run race declined to stop the line despite a substantial deluge.



The race procedure began at 8 a.m. on Thursday yet at around 9:12 a.m., there was substantial deluge which ended the procedure. 

The sudden precipitation had everyone running for cover yet voters as of now on the voting line, who at first kept running for cover, immediately returned when they saw that other people who declined to seek shelter had pushed ahead to supplant them. 

When the rain died down, every one of the voters on the line was at that point doused. 

The voting, nonetheless, proceeded at 9:30 a.m. whenever everybody (INEC staff, security, media men and others) had come back to their posts. 

Prior, some moderately aged men and an elderly lady who accompanied Permanent Voter Cards from another unit, had endeavored to cast their votes, however, were refused by watchful security and gathering specialists.
