2019: Kwankwaso reveals what political parties will do about underage voting

[ad_1]

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the lawmaker representing Kano central, has hinted that political parties won’t allow underage voting during the 2019 general elections.

He made this remark while stressing that underage voting allegedly recorded during the recent local government elections in Kano State occurred because “only one party” participated in the poll.

Featuring on The Osasu Show, Kwankwaso said it would be impossible to rig an election if several political parties are involved.

The Senator said if such happens in the 2019 elections, other political parties would ask the underage voter to “get out of this place”.

He said, “In all elections, there should be more than one party contesting. If you have more than one party, then party A will not Allow part B to do any form of mago mago, especially the issue of people who are below 18.

“In 2019, if you go there, no child will go close to any ballot box because if you are coming to vote for A, B will say get out of this place.

“But those ones, I think they were invited to go and thumbprint because the real people were not there, the Kwakwansiya and the PDP weren’t there.

“This is the first time I can see only children on the line or queue trying to vote I am seeing the type of thing that is happening.”
