The rain, which was heavy, lasted over one hour and affected some gadgets already installed at the venue.
Delegates who sat at the “popular side” of the stadium scampered to the covered stand in a bid to escape from the rain.
The chairman of the electoral panel, Governor Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa State, directed that proceedings should continue after the rain has ceased.
