The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has been omitted in the House of Representatives ballots papers for Ringim Local Government Area of Jigawa State.
The INEC officials in the local government had earlier recalled the already distributed ballot papers to the polling centers, but later redistributed them after getting clearance from the Resident Electoral Commissioner.
Ringim is the home of the gubernatorial candidate of the party, Aminu Ringim.
An electoral official who pleaded anonymity told this newspaper that the ballot papers only bear the logo of the party without its name.
The official however say the election would hold despite the omission.
