The Edo State Election Petitions Tribunal has released results of the recounted ballot papers used for the September 28 governorship election.

In its ruling on February 9, 2017, the three-man tribunal headed by Justice Ahmed Badamasi granted the prayers of the People’s Democratic Party and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu by ordering the recount of ballot papers in Egor, Akoko-Edo, Etsako West and Etsako East local government areas.

The APC won in all the four local government areas where the ballot papers were recounted.

However, the ballot papers which held for two days could not be concluded following the expiration of the period given to the petitioners to prove their cases.

From the results released, only eight wards were counted in three local government areas while no ballot papers were recounted in Estako East local government.

In the report signed by the Assistant Secretary to the tribunal, Buhari Sani, and given to parties in the case, the recounting exercise was concluded in Wards 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Etsako West Local Government Area, Wards 1 and 2 in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area and Ward 1 of Egor Local Government Area.

The recounting from Estako West showed that Ward 1 had 1,281 votes, Ward 2 had 1,542 votes, Ward 3 had 1,490 votes, Ward 4 had 1,994 and Ward 5 had 3,025 votes.

In Akoko-Edo, Ward 1 had a total of 3,206 and Ward 2 had a total of 3,849 votes.

The only ward counted in Egor local government had 3,217 votes.

Sani said the recounting stopped at 1pm by the tribunal on the application of Counsel to the Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The tribunal resumes sitting on Friday with INEC opening its defence of the case.

I am confused here.

What kind of article is this?if the votes were counted, i think we should have been informed which party got what votes in the wards. Instead of just telling us the total numbers of votes cast.

The truth is that after the disastrous 8yrs rule of Lucky Igbinedion, there's no way PDP could have, or will ever, win the governorship election in Edo State.

Tribunal is just a name, it can't remove a sitting governor that's it

I can relate to this.

Bleep

The Nation newspaper is giving out false information, it refuse to inform the readers that the total number of recounted votes didn't tally with what was written in INEC form




The result on INEC form was over bloated by as much as 3000 in each ward.




PDP used the stronghold of Oshimole for recounting to show the level of impunity done there


Tinubu should stop being stupid

You are wrong. Under sensible government the tribunal can remove even a sitting governor.

That was how oshiomole and mimiko became governors.
But under this confused apc government, one should not expect sensible decision from tribunals

PDP should not bothers about edo election the election had being hijacked and the winner had being concluded in Abuja 2 weeks before the election every other things are just pure noise and time wasting. *The more you look the less you see* that is the game and its for the wise.

Nonsense post bad journalism

APC is completely full of Lai Muhammeds. Why do they bother us with their lies. They should go ahead with their system of of governance. 2019 is at the corner. By then, the people will know whether to continue under this hardship or do the needful.
