FOUR days after it was conducted, the results of last weekend's National Assembly elections in Ondo State were yesterday released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Curiously, the winning streak of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) continued so well in the state, that it even won a senatorial district that it did not field a candidate for.

The result of the election, released by INEC's Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Olabimpe Awoniyi, indicated that PDP won all the seats both at the Senate and the House of Representatives.

According to a statement issued by Awoniyi, there will be a rescheduled election into Akure South state House of Assembly in Constituency 11 in the area. There will also be a rescheduled election into the Owo/Ose Federal constituency on Saturday, April 28.

The Senate result showed that Dr. Bode Olajumoke of the PDP, who polled 137,736, votes, won in Ondo North senatorial District, followed by Labour Party candidate, Prince Nekan Olateru-Olagbegi with 20,147 votes, while Mr. A.O. Abodare came third with 16,969 polls.

This is a glaring example of the massive rigging carried out by the ruling party. Only in Africa

so pathetic.
just like morris was fumbling with the date he signed the presidential election result; announcing contradictory dates on media !

meanwhile,
mo wapa, if i remembered very well, Bush rigged in florida. that can be said, surely.

This is so appaling and awful but what can one do in a system the is highly corrupt and against it self? lets just hope that things get better within the next political dispensation.
