The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has registered 69, 526 new voters in Niger in the on-going Continuous Voters Registration exercise.

Prof. Samuel Egwu, the state Resident Electoral Commissioner made the disclosure in an interview with our reporter on Wednesday in Minna.

He explained that 45, 563 of the new voters were males and 23,963 females, adding that all those registered had been issued temporary voter card.

“We have already contacted the leaders of various political parties to mobilize more eligible voters to register,” he added.
