In the council, the SDP scored 6,299 votes while PDP got 3,595 votes.

“With the provision of the Electoral Law, the commission shall conduct a supplementary election since the margin between the PDP and the SDP is less than the number of votes cancelled during the election.

“The candidate of the PDP scored 17,214 while the candidate of the SDP polled 15,537, the difference between the two political parties is 1,677 while the number of cancelled votes is 14,759.

“The election is therefore declared inconclusive, the commission shall fix a date for the rerun. The law said the rerun will be between the highest scorer and the second runner up in the election, in this case, the supplementary election is between the PDP and the SDP,” he said.
