About the Adentan race
More than 2,700 delegates are expected to cast their votes at the De Youngsters School Center, and some have already done so.
The race for the Adentan seat is keenly contested, with three strong contenders vying for the position.
The incumbent Member of Parliament, Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, faces stiff competition from two opponents:

The Adenta seat has a unique record of not having a political party win more than one term in parliament.
