FCT Polls: Announce Kuje Council Results, Turaki-led PDP Tells Amupitan

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday, saying it is concerned about the delay in announcing the results from Kuje Council after the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) elections, which was held on Saturday.

The party raised concerns against the backdrop of the delay in announcing the results in two wards in Kuje by INEC.

The wards, according to PDP, are Kuje Central and Kabi Wards. The party added that most results from the ward have been posted on the IREV.

The PDP national spokesman, Comrade Ini Ememobong, said “We are concerned that the results from two wards in Kuje Area Council are yet to be announced by INEC. This delay has raised apprehension because of the marginal lead that the Peoples Democratic Party has there, which we are aware is under the threat of being manipulated using security forces.

“We call on the Chairman of INEC to immediately order the announcement of the results in Kuje Central and Kabi Wards, most of which have been posted on the IREV.

“Election results must remain a true reflection of the votes of the people; anything less invalidates the entire process.

“We should uphold the sanctity of the ballot, PDP said.
