Electoral commission: Voting suspended in some places in Nigeria
Voters wait to cast their ballots
Abuja - Arab Today
Nigeria's electoral commission on Saturday said polling in the country's presidential and parliamentary election had been suspended in some places because of glitches with new voter ID card readers.
The Independent National Electoral Commission said there had been "challenges" with the technology in "many" places, without specifying a number, that had led to the suspension of the accreditation process.
"In polling units where accreditation was suspended to the following day in accordance with the existing guidelines, arrangement will be made for voters to vote tomorrow (Sunday)," information commissioner Chris Yimoga told reporters in Abuja.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
