INEC had on February 27, 2023 declared the Yobe South senatorial district’s election as inconclusive over cancellation of a polling unit at Manawaci in Fika local government area necessitated by over voting. The number of registered voters in the unit exceeded the margin between the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who scored 69,417 votes while that of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scored 68,800 votes.

Declaring the results in Potiskum, the returning officer of the senatorial district, Dr Abatcha Melemi of the Federal University, Gashua, said Bomoi emerged winner after scoring 69,596 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Abubakar Halilu, who scored 6,885.

“My mandate in this exercise is just to declare the result and return the elected candidate for Yobe South Senatorial district. 

“I hereby certify that I am the returning officer for the 2023 Yobe South Senatorial district election held on April 15, 2023.
