Akpata Won Edo Election But Rigged Out By APC: Labour Party by NgeneUkwenu(op): 7:58pm On Sep 23, 2024

Kelly Ogbalo, chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Edo, says the party candidate, Olumide Akpata, would have won the state governorship election if it was conducted in a free and fair manner.

In an interview on Monday in Benin, Mr Ogbalo claimed that the election was marred by serious irregularities, including open vote-buying that the security agencies failed to check.

“Labour Party won the election but was not allowed to take possession,” Mr Ogbalo

“What I mean by that is that the election was marred with serious irregularities; there was open vote buying. The security agencies failed to check this anomaly.”

“So in such a way where votes were bought and with manipulation of results here and there. What do you expect?”

When asked if LP would challenge the result in court, Mr Ogbalo said the party was yet to call a state council meeting to take a position.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on September 22 declared Monday Okpebholo of the APC winner of the election.

Mr Okpebholo polled 291,667 votes to defeat Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 247,274 votes, while LP’s Mr Akpata, came third with 22,763 votes.

I think they should convert Labour Party Secretariat to a Psychiatrist Hospital. They harbour a lot of mentally challenged people.

Judging from Edo governorship and presidential election history below, what do you think happened in Edo?

Was it Obaseki losing a lot of support, or the PDP candidate didn’t appeal enough to them, or voter apathy, or perhaps the effects of the National crisis rocking the PDP?

Which candidate did the governor's wife described as unmarried? I thought it was the APC man, but I read somewhere that he was marrried with kids.

It's either these people (Labour Party members or obidense) are delusional or stoopiid! Which election did Akpata win, the one in which he was beaten in front of his father's house? Like Obi, like his supporters!
