Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State was leading his main challenger, Abba Yusuf of the Peoples Democratic Party, in Saturday’s supplementary governorship election in the state.

The results of eight out of the 28 local government areas where the election took place showed that Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress had polled 6,473 votes while his opponent scored 970 votes as of 10pm.



In the March 9 poll declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the APC polled 987, 819 votes while the PDP had 1,014, 474 votes.

While the collation of votes was ongoing, a representative of the PDP raised an objection, describing the poll process as a disservice to democracy.

He asked if there were separate rules for different parties because the Returning Officer cancelled some votes based on the violence that marred voting in the areas where the results came from.

Details of results are as follows: Bichi LGA – APC: 1,969, PDP: 39; Bebeji LGA -APC: 205, PDP: 0; Rogo LGA – APC: 1,033, PDP: 162; Karaye LGA – APC: 1,317, PDP: 27; Rimin Gado LGA – APC: 1,463, PDP: 12; LGA: Warawa- APC: 501, PDP: 152; Rano LGA – APC: 2,337, PDP: 37;

Dambatta LGA – APC: 608, PDP:24; Takai LGA – APC: 4,221, PDP: 149; Albasu LGA – APC: 1,804, PDP: 66; Gabasawa LGA – APC: 728, PDP: 329; Minjibir LGA – APC: 2,414, PDP: 226; Wurno LGA – APC: 904, PDP: 609.

In his remarks before the commencement of the result declaration, the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Sadiq Musa, said the outcome would be added to the previous results of the March 9 elections which were declared inconclusive.

Musa said, “The declaration will be based on simple majority. The Collation/ Returning Officer of the governorship election, Prof. Fatima Mukhtar will handle it accordingly.”

Wamakko LGA — APC: 417, PDP: 221; Rabah LGA – APC:1,411, PDP: 1,319

Benue returning officer shot

Unknown gunmen on Saturday shot and wounded the Returning Officer of Gboko Local Government Area, Prof T. Dooshima.

An eyewitness, Mr Issac Utom, told journalists in Makurdi that Dooshima, another electoral officer for the local government and the driver were in the vehicle marked FG 273 UO1 when the attack occurred.

He said the attack came after the returning officer had declared the results of the House of Assembly election.

He said, “They shot Prof. Dooshima, who is the returning officer for Gboko LGA. After they shot her, we drove straight to INEC headquarters so that we can make a statement about the incident. She is in the hospital.”

There was no election in Kano but daylight robbery, nobody can beat kwankwaso in a free and fair election. Seeing what happened yesterday I gave up for Nigeria

Modified: For those quoting me, I repeat for now nobody can defeat Kwankwaso in a free and fair election in Kano. If you are not from Kano you won't understand me, people were killed, disgraced, beaten, chased away by thugs with the backing of security personnel just because they are PDP members, They've already scared the voters by bringing thugs at all the pu's since Friday evening and giving them voters card to vote, some used female voters card to vote, card reader was not in use yesterday. They make the CP powerless by sending DIG and AIG's from Abuja who were already compromised. The INEC officers already received a plot of land and cash to rig election in favour of Ganduje. What we saw in Kano can't be explained here. We just regret supporting Buhari

Three was no election in Kano but daylight robbery, nonoby can beat kwankwaso in a free and fair election. Seeing what happened yesterday I gave up for Nigeria

osun fall on them at the tribunal

Are you confirming that the PDP candidate is a puppet and a façade?


Was Kwankwaso a contestant in the election? Or is he the godfather that wants to continue to rule the state by proxy, initially using Ganduje his god-son who has rebuffed his control, and now wanting to use his in-law to turn Kano State to his family inheritance?

Okay... waiting for the final announcement.

PDP ALL D WAY

Kwankwasiyya are ready to die if APC and INEC rigg this election.

Hmmm. I pray kano know peace after this

Kwankwanso should enjoy his L

PDP is receiving a dose of it's own medicine

Haaaaa

PDP will win Sokoto but APC wil win Kano and Bauchi
Plateau to APC
Benue to PDP

Another heartbreaking news to pigs and idiots
Nobody should soak my cloth with tears as they did to Atiku

Gandolar really played rough he should be stoned by Kano people

APC is such a useless party... Inec should set a better precedence by canceling the sham of an election in kano, otherwise it would be assumed a free for all fight in subsequent elections.

With APC at the helm of affairs, its either we all go the thug way or we get ruled by thugs..

The dolts even brag on violence and killings of innocent voters, these people are evil.

Shame on INEC.

Its still safe to say PDP will win Kano because PDP is still leading by 21000 with 20 LGA yet to go.

Some people crying up and down here because of states remotely not concern them, there states had never been ruled by opposition since 1999. Every 4 years they've been reinforcing failure they called governor but they poke their nose to a far north that are politically mature and sophisticated. Really they don't have shame.
