The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, as winner of Saturday’s election. He polled 1,045,427 votes to defeat Isha Ashiru of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who garnered 814,168 votes. He reportedly won in 15 of the 23 local government areas, while Ashiru won in eight of the LGAs.

Meanwhile, the PDP has rejected the results of the election, alleging conspiracy.
Speaking at the Kaduna collation centre, Jerry Ishaya, the party’s agent, said “We have formally written the INEC that card readers were not used in those local government areas mentioned. Our agents told us how security agents overpowered them in some areas,” he said.

“The results were manipulated in collaboration with the INEC, security agents.”

PDP Wins Delta State 
INEC on Monday also declared Governor Ifeanyi Okowa winner of the 2019 governorship election in Delta. He won in 23 out of the 25 local government areas of the state. 

The State Returning Officer of INEC, Prof. Seth Accra-Jaja, said “I hereby certify that I was the State Returning Officer for March Governorship election. The election was keenly contested by different candidates and Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa of the PDP polled a total number of 925,274 votes to defeat his first runner up, Chief Great Ogboru of the All Progressive Congress who polled a total of 215,938 votes.’’
According to him, the total number of rejected votes is 24,147 and the total number of votes cast is 1,178,335, while the total number of valid votes is 1,154,188.
